Moving archives

Summary:

"Literary archives are proliferating, and these essays examine the process of archiving such materials -- their materialization, their preservation, and the research that is being produced about them. Archives, are, according to volume editor Morra, involved in an emotionally engaged and charged process, one that acts on archival subjects and the people engaged with them."-- Provided by publisher.
