How do early modern media influence today’s digital creativity? In this exploration, Whitney Trettien delves into the fringes of the London print trade, uncovering makerspaces and collaboratories where paper media were innovatively cut and reassembled into unique publications. By reviving these forgotten objects through curated digital resources, Trettien illustrates how early experimental book hacks resonate with contemporary digital scholarship and publishing. As a mixed-media artifact, the work embodies Trettien's argument that digital forms can challenge patriarchal narratives of print. From the religious household of Little Gidding, which produced protofeminist media innovations, to the queer poetic works of Edward Benlowes and the fragment albums of shoemaker John Bagford, the text highlights the historical significance of these creations for understanding modern media. Trettien traces the lives of amateur “bookwork,” developing a method to identify and comprehend hybrid objects that defy traditional bibliographic categories. This exploration reveals the rich history of radical publishing through fragments and found materials. With many digital resources remaining open for contributions, the work reimagines publication, promoting a spirit of generosity and inclusivity, and serves as an inspiration for students of publishing, digital humanities, and anyone intrigued by the evolution of creativity.
