New publication: Genetic Criticism in Motion: New Perspectives on Manuscript Studies, edited by Sakari Katajamäki, Veijo Pulkkinen and Tommi Dunderlin.

Pleased that my essay, "Genetic Criticism and Modern Palaeography: The Cultural Forms of Modern Literary Manuscripts", is included in this fantastic collection.

The book is available in open access at https://doi.org/10.21435/sflit.14.
