New Publication by Linda Morra: Moving Archives

Dr. Linda Morra of the Department of English has recently edited a new monograph entitled Moving Archives, published by Wilfrid Laurier Press in November 2019. Following her previous case studies, Unarrested Archives: Case Studies in Twentieth-Century Canadian Women’s Authorship published in 2014 by UTP, Dr. Morra now places the focus on the affective nature of archives, involving both the texts and those intimately engaged with them. The authors of the texts presented in this collection offer insights on the process of archiving and approaching literary materials, a process that is charged and emotionally engaging, and central to creating and maintaining communities and to nourishing the fields of study that are drawn to them.

More information about this new monograph is available on Wilfrid Laurier University Press.
