The essays address a range of topics as varied as the role of print cultures in contests over the nature of the colonial public sphere in the nineteenth century, orthography, iimbongi, orature and the canon, print and transnationalism, Indian Ocean cosmopolitanisms, books in war, local academic publishing, and the challenge of 'book history' for literary and cultural criticism in contemporary South Africa.
