New page

Jackson, Heather. ''Marginalia: Readers Writing in Books.'' New Haven: Yale University Pres, 2001.

Samuel Johnson's ''Plan of a Dictionary'', University of Toronto's copy -- c18 owner Samuel Maude used it as a diary

:"'''I am interested in interpretation and in the ''progress'' of interpretation''', both in the individual reader and in the great society of readers over time. Every record of a particular reader's engagement with a book will have both historical and ahistorical or transhistorical elements. As physical objects, books have changed in shape and texture over the years, but some features remain constant. As intellectual objects, they act upon -- or rather interact with -- the reader's mind in different ways upon different occasions, but again there are constant features: the words on the page do not change, the range of meaning is not wide open." (15)

"curiosity-driven research"
