Another Book Added to The Collection of McGill Authors!
On the behalf of the McGill community, we would like to give a huge congratulations to our very own Svetlana Kochkina on one of her recent successes. Head of Lending and Access Services at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, Svetlana recently published a book based on her dissertation from her PhD here at McGill!
The book, titled “Frances Burney’s “Evelina” : The Book, its History, and its Paratext,” traces the publication history of Burney’s novel from 1778. The book is available for purchase online, as well as through the library as an ebook and print book.
Congratulations once again to Svetlana, a fantastic representation of the talented authors we have within the McGill community!
