N2 - Carrie Smith and Lisa Stead’s The Boundaries of the Literary Archive: Reclamation and Representation challenges the reader to broaden his or her perspective on what archives are and how they meet, or do not meet, the research needs of literary scholars. The essays are a mixture of how literary scholars use archival collections to conduct in-depth research, how they view and define archives, and the challenges affecting their use. The contributing authors are a combination of archivists, curators, and literary scholars, primarily from the United Kingdom but also from Canada and the United States. This collection is meant to inform an audience of scholars and archivists that, while traditional research and interpretations still exist, various aspects are creating new and evolving opportunities to change the perception and use of archives in literary scholarship. By bringing together this variety of perspectives, the editors highlight the need and desire for archivists and researchers to engage in discussions about use, access, and collecting so all have a better understanding of each other’s needs and practices.
