I was honored to deliver the Wing Foundation Lecture on the History of the Book at the Newberry Library on March 3, 2022. The event took place in person after two years of virtual events. I’m grateful to Jill Gage, Custodian of the John M. Wing Foundation on the History of Printing, for the invitation to speak about some new ideas around my next book project, “Accidental Shakespeare,” and to the staff at the Newberry for supporting this program.
