Making History with Manuscripts: Response
-
Jane Gilbert
Abstract
The response draws together several themes that emerge from the essays in the volume: historical desires of various sorts, the claiming of kin, modifications in scale, and interrelations between time and space. The manuscripts discussed in detail in these essays emerge as singular objects that deploy these (and other) instruments as they “make history.”
