TY - JOUR AB - As students, we are intimately familiar with books. They are one of our main tools of learning, pages dog-eared and passages highlighted, as we piece together term papers, presentations and theses. We know the book, but we do not necessarily consider it beyond the text it provides. But for some students at the University of Münster’s English Department, the book itself is put under the spotlight. Book studies is currently part of the curriculum of the National and Transnational Studies and British, American and Postcolonial Studies master’s programs. Those wanting to delve deeper into the pages of this little-known field of study can go beyond the compulsory first semester course Text, Book and Culture: Introduction to Book Studies and choose from a small selection of elective courses on offer every semester, with some past options including “Printed Poison”: the English Book Trade in Religious and Political Conflicts and Print Is Dead? Publishing in the 21st Century.
