Did you know that RBS has more than 40 copies of Richard Wright’s 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘯?

Spanning the first printing of the 1940 first ed. to 21st-c. editions, some copies display interventions from readers & booksellers alike. Combined, they tell the rich bibliographical story of Wright’s acclaimed novel.
A close-up of several editions of 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘯 as well as Wright's author card listing his most famous works from the Game of Authors published in 1991. From the 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘴 & 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘴 exhibition. Copies of Wright's 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘯 shown alongside various works by Gertrude Stein, Toni Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Willa Cather, and Walt Whitman, part of the 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘴 & 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘴 exhibition.

RBS recently hosted Shih-shan Susan Huang of Rice Univ. for a hands-on visit in which she, with UVA faculty & graduate students, learned about the history of the book in China through objects such as woodblocks, multi-color printed & illustrated books, rubbings & more from our Guanhailou collection.
Photo of a smiling woman, wearing a navy-blue sweater with a clothed bear on it, holding a rare Chinese book in her hands while two other people look over her shoulder from each side. Photo of an open spread of a rare Chinese book. On the left side, columns of Chinese characters fill the center of the page. On the right, a print in red ink depicts a man and a bow harvesting plants while a flock of birds flies up near them. A photo of a group of women gathered around both sides of a long table looking at one of the open rare Chinese books that are laid out along it. Photo of a page from a Chinese illustration in black, blue, and gold. The abstract figures suggest water or rock with plants or fungi growing around the edges.
