Material Textuality

Material Textuality is a scholarly concept in early American literary studies that belongs to the category of textual analysis methods, specifically distinguished by its focus on the physical and material features of texts—such as manuscripts, print formats, handwriting, bindings, and scribal practices—as primary sites of meaning, interpretation, and historical inquiry into textual production and reception.
