- Synopsis
- Considers the future of the printed word given the growth of electronic communication as a modern medium for information and culture. In investigating past cultural transitions, such as from the spoken to the written word, or from manuscript to the printing press, O'Donnell (classical studies, U. of Pennsylvania) reveals the contemporary crossroads between media as contiguous with the history of communication.
