Transforming Author Museums : From Sites of Pilgrimage to Cultural Hubs Hardback
Edited by Ulrike Spring, Johan Schimanski, Thea Aarbakke
Part of the Museums and Collections series
Hardback
Description
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.
