Samantha Rayner, Professor of Publishing and Book Cultures, Department of Information Studies, delivers her Inaugural Lecture. This lecture will look at the contribution Una Dillon and her contemporary women booksellers made to the British book trade in the 1930s-1960s. It will explore how bookselling developed during this period, and highlight some of the histories which, as in Una Dillon’s case, are now literally hidden behind the bookshelves of the bookshop she created.
