Postcard from the edges: the once-fashionable genre of writing in the margins of books may fallen into disrepute but random jottings can still inspire enthusiasm

Article Abstract:

Writing in margins was a popular activity when individual books passed through many different hands. With time, the activity became more private as reading itself became a more private activity. In 'Marginalia: Readers Writing in Books' H.J. Jackson investigates the marginalia written by famous writers such as Coleridge, Boswell, and Nabokov.
