 \nEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441556376/From_Pen_to_
 Print_the_Handwriting_Behind_the_Book\nEvent Date Begin: 2012-02-10\nEvent
  Date End: 2012-03-30\n\n \n\n&ldquo\;From Pen to Print: The Handwriting B
 ehind the Book&rdquo\; is an exhibition that features handwritten letters\
 , notes\, postcards\, and other manuscripts that reveal personal\, private
 \, and otherwise veiled aspects of the production of books. Putting author
 s' manuscript materials on display alongside their print books\, the exhib
 ition reveals the passions\, obsessions\, lofty dreams\, and gritty realiz
 ations triggered by the writing and publishing process. These materials ca
 pture the relationships between19th- and 20th-century American authors\, e
 ditors\, and readers\, including Nathaniel Hawthorne\, Edgar Allan Poe\, A
 lice Cary\, Rufus Griswold\, Walt Whitman\, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow\, A
 nne Warren Weston\, Sarah Grimke\, Angelina Grimke\, Charles Folsom\, and 
 Robert Frost. These writers' correspondence and notes\, paired with rare\,
  early editions of the books discussed therein\, bring many fascinating fa
 cets of composition and publishing to light\, notably the working relation
 ships between authors and their editors and the interactions between autho
 rs and their readers. The exhibit also offers such curiosities as digitall
 y enlarged signatures and passages from autographs\, cross-hatched letters
 \, and a selection of author portraits.\nThis exhibition is the result of 
 an innovative\, ongoing partnership between UMass-Boston's English M.A. Pr
 ogram and the Boston Public Library. UMass-Boston students take a semester
 -long course in the Rare Books and Manuscripts Room\, engaging in hands-on
  research that generates a student-curated exhibit. This exhibition presen
 ts the results of a seminar that focused on the scholarly transcription an
 d annotating of handwritten texts. Previous years' topics have included bo
 oks from colonial Boston\, Shakespeare\, public poetry\, and the origins o
 f the British novel.\nThe exhibition is free and open to the general publi
 c. It is located in the Rare Books Exhibition Room on the third floor of t
 he Boston Public Library's McKim Building\, and is open M\, T\, W\, F - 9a
 m - 5pm\; Th - 11am - 7pm. The exhibition runs through March 30\, 2012.\n
