Sylvia Beach published 'Ulysses' by James Joyce in 1922 WATCH: ‘Self Portrait’ broadcast in 1962 @bloomsdayfest @JamesJoyceCentr @YesDerry2024 #BloomsdayFestival rte.ie/archives/2022/…
James Joyce borrowed Tobias Smollett's The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle from Shakespeare and Company OTD in 1931. First published in 1751 and revised in 1758, it’s a picaresque novel that has been described as a satire on human cruelty, stupidity and greed. @ShakesCoProject
A brilliant article about how to understand gaps in historical archives. In @CulturalAnalyt & @MModernity, @suttonkoeser & @Zoe_LeBlanc use computational models to rebuild Sylvia Beach's lending library records, inc. Hemingway's missing borrowing records! culturalanalytics.org/article/116926…
Recommendation systems can suggest books to read. But can they resolve gaps in historical archives? In "Missing Data, Speculative Reading" @suttonkoeser & @Zoe_LeBlanc identify books Hemingway read at Shakespeare & Co / @MModernity & @CulturalAnalyt modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts/k…
"Afterlives of Shakespeare & Co in Online Social Readership" compares 2 reading communities: Sylvia Beach's lending library & Goodreads. But it also reveals a friendship between 2 readers: Alice Killen & France Raphaël. Now @CulturalAnalyt & @MModernity culturalanalytics.org/article/116919…
"Popularity among Shakespeare & Co readers was a significantly better predictor of enduring literary status than commercial success at time of publication." Read "Afterlives of Shakespeare & Co in Online Social Readership" @MModernity & @CulturalAnalyt modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts/a…
In "Black Internationalism and Shakespeare and Company," Caitlin O'Keefe reads Gwendolyn Bennett's diaries @SchomburgCenter to illuminate her time in Paris in the 1920s. Now @MModernity & @CulturalAnalyt. culturalanalytics.org/article/117123…
"'I remember very well that around that time we read the poems of Langston Hughes and Claude McKay,” Césaire recalled in a 1967 interview." Read Caitlin O'Keefe's "Black Internationalism and Shakespeare and Company" now in @MModernity & @CulturalAnalyt modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts/o…
I had the privilege of watching this article take shape. Worth a read. I also had fun inventing this chart to convey not only the difference in borrowing by men and women but relative percentages/popularity. Inspired by butterfly/tornado charts.

What were the most popular books at Shakespeare & Co and @amerlibparis? "Lending Books on the Left and Right Banks" by @noxrosa, now @CulturalAnalyt & @MModernity, details the differences (and similarities!) between the two libraries. modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts/c…
Rivals or peers: Shakespeare and Company & @amerlibparis? In "Lending Books on the Left and Right Banks" now at @CulturalAnalyt & @MModernity, @noxrosa corrects myths about the institutions. She also shows that the ALP had 20 times as many members! culturalanalytics.org/article/116922…
Read Fedor Karmanov and @joshua_kotin on the relationship between gender and taste at the Shakespeare and Company lending library on Print Plus and at @CulturalAnalyt!
Read Fedor Karmanov and @joshua_kotin on the relationship between gender and taste at the Shakespeare and Company lending library on Print Plus and at @CulturalAnalyt!
Who were the authors that most divided male and female readers at Shakespeare and Company? Does the answer reveal an alternative canon of modernist literature? To find out, read "A Counterfactual Canon" @CulturalAnalyt & @MModernity culturalanalytics.org/article/116915…
How would modernist studies change if we began talking about a "von Arnim Era"? Read "A Counterfactual Canon" now at @MModernity & @CulturalAnalyt modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts/k…
🗞️🎉Have you seen the new article cluster on the @Princeton CDH-sponsored @ShakesCoProject, edited by @joshua_kotin (English) & CDH Lead RSE @suttonkoeser?! Check out: bit.ly/ShakesCoProjec… or read the essays in @CulturalAnalyt or @MModernity (they're copublished!)
Now @CulturalAnalyt & @MModernity, @ladymodernist describes Bryher's "The Heart to Artemis" (1962) as an "avenging work" that rewrites the story of expatriate Paris to affirm "the genius and the contributions of its women, and especially its queer women." culturalanalytics.org/article/116913…
What's the last book recorded in Shakespeare and Company's vast lending library records? In "Sylvia Beach's Final Book," @ladymodernist discusses a gift of Bryher's memoirs to a young literary critic. Now @MModernity and @CulturalAnalyt. modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts/w…
In @CulturalAnalyt & @MModernity, @Ethelene_Whit investigates Reed Peggram's reading life at Shakespeare and Company. The article suggests how reading might shape identity... culturalanalytics.org/article/116910…
"How much can we learn about a person by knowing what that person read?" Following @Ethelene_Whit as she investigates Reed Peggram's reading life in Paris, now at @MModernity and @CulturalAnalyt modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts/w…
OTD in 1928 a copy of Parenthood: Design or Accident arrived at Shakespeare and Company, as related by @matthewjchamber in ‘Sylvia Beach’s Shakespeare and Company in the English-Language Book Trade of Interwar Paris’
