Transforming Author Museums

From Sites of Pilgrimage to Cultural Hubs

350 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Literary museums today must respond to new challenges; the traditional image of the author's home museum as a sacred place of literary pilgrimage centered around a national hero has been questioned, and literary museums have begun to develop new strategies centered not only on biography, but also literary texts, imagined spaces, different readers, historical contexts, architectural concepts, and artistic interventions. As this volume shows, the changing of spaces asks how literary museums create new ways of interlinking real and literary spaces, texts, objects, readers, and tourists.
