Abstract

The second symposium on Iconic Books was held at Hamilton College on September 4-6, 2009. The aim of these symposia is to inaugurate a new discourse about iconic books and texts. By “iconic book,” we refer to a text revered primarily as an object of power rather than just as words of instruction, information, or insight.
