Abstract

This remarkable book details the work of one of the most extraordinary publishing enterprises in history. Censor-baiting, provocative, simultaneous publisher of the literary elite and of ‘dirty books’, Jack Kahane’s Obelisk Press published Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Lawrence Durrell, D. H. Lawrence, and James Joyce among others. At the same time Kahane subsidised his literary endeavours with cheap erotica and trash fiction from long-forgotten eccentrics such as New York Daily News’ Rome correspondent and self-styled ‘Marco Polo of Sex’ N. Reynolds Packard. Kahane’s business model was simple: if a book was banned in the UK and US it could be profitably published in Paris. Here, for the first time, Neil Pearson has pulled together the incendiary story of Obelisk, including biographies of Kahane and his major and minor authors, and a bibliography of Obelisk books. This beautifully written volume – part cultural history, part reference book – will be required reading for anyone interested in controversial writing, censorship, 1920s Paris, publishing history and authors such as Miller, Joyce and Nin.

Abstract

Tracing the publishing history of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford from its initial 1851-53 serialization in Dickens's Household Words through its numerous editions and adaptations, Recchio focuses especially the text's deployment in support of ideas related to nation and national identity on both sides of the Atlantic. Making extensive use of primary materials, Recchio offers a convincing micro-history of the way English literature was positioned in England and the United States to support an Anglocentric cultural project.

Abstract

Hitherto relegated to the closets of art history and literary studies, book illustration has entered mainstream scholarship. The chapters of this collection offer only a glimpse of where a complete reconfiguration of the visual periphery of eighteenth-century texts might ultimately take us. The use of the gerund of the verb ""to reconfigure"" in the subtitle of this collection, instead of the corresponding noun, underlines the work-in-progress character of this interdisciplinary endeavour, which aims above all to discern new vistas while charting or revisiting landmarks in the rich field of ei

Abstract

Concentration croissante de l’édition, montée en puissance des agents littéraires, emprise des contraintes commerciales sur la circulation des livres, domination de l’anglais d’un côté, diversification des langues traduites de l’autre… Les flux de traductions favorisent-ils le dialogue entre communautés nationales ? Sont-ils au contraire l’expression d’un impérialisme économique qui s’accompagne d’une hégémonie culturelle ? Première analyse sociologique du marché mondial de la traduction, l’enquête menée par Gisèle Sapiro et son équipe offre une radiographie passionnante de notre paysage éditorial : circulation des œuvres d’un pays à l’autre, logiques du marché, spécificités de la réception, stratégies d’universalisation. Ou comment, contre la « marchandisation » du livre, une autre mondialisation éditoriale se fait jour, qui passe par des réseaux intellectuels, des alliances entre petits éditeurs indépendants et défenseurs de la diversité culturelle. Une contribution majeure pour comprendre la place de la France sur le marché du livre à l’heure de la globalisation.
