      abstract = {Bookshelves in the Age of the COVID-19 Pandemic provides  the first detailed scholarly investigation of the cultural  phenomenon of bookshelves (and the social practices around  them) since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. With a  foreword by Lydia Pyne, author of Bookshelf (2016), the  volume brings together 17 scholars from 6 countries  (Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and  the USA) with expertise in literary studies, book history,  publishing, visual arts, and pedagogy to critically examine  the role of bookshelves during the current pandemic. This  volume interrogates the complex relationship between the  physical book and its digital manifestation via online  platforms, a relationship brought to widespread public and  scholarly attention by the global shift to working from  home and the rise of online pedagogy. It also goes beyond  the (digital) bookshelf to consider bookselling, book  accessibility, and pandemic reading habits. Corinna  Norrick-Ruhl is Professor of Book Studies at the University  of Muenster (WWU), Germany. Her recent publications are The  Novel as Network: Forms, Ideas, Commodities (2020,  co-edited with Tim Lanzendorfer, in this series) and Book  Clubs and Book Commerce (2019).
