- The Paper Chase is an archivally-driven investigation into an unsolved three-hundred-year-old mystery. Research for the book entailed sustained archival research over several years: transcribing thousands of pages of difficult-to-access manuscripts and identifying the printers of anonymous works by analytical bibliographical methods. The book is also an undertaking of complex creative investigation, translating rigorous bibliographical research, and a broader exploration of literary and political culture in the early eighteenth century, for a general readership.
