" "All you need to know about the industry at a time of momentous change." -Drake McFeely, chairman and president, W.W. Norton & Company For nearly five centuries, the world of book publishing remained largely static. But at the dawn of the twenty-first century, the industry faces a combination of economic pressures and technological change that is forcing publishers to alter their practices and think hard about the future of the book. John Thompson's riveting account dissects the roles of publishers, agents, and booksellers in the United States and Britain, charting their transformation since the 1960s. Offering an in-depth analysis of how the digital revolution is changing the game today, Merchants of Culture is the one book that anyone with a stake in the industry needs to read"--

The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw both the consolidation of American print culture and the establishment of an African American literary tradition, yet the two are too rarely considered in tandem. In this landmark volume, a stellar group of established and emerging scholars ranges over periods, locations, and media to explore African Americans' diverse contributions to early American print culture, both on the page and off. The book's chapters consider domestic novels and gallows narratives, Francophone poetry and engravings of Liberia, transatlantic lyrics and San Francisco newspapers. Together, they consider how close attention to the archive can expand the study of African American literature well beyond matters of authorship to include issues of editing, illustration, circulation, and reading-and how this expansion can enrich and transform the study of print culture more generally.

Countering assumptions about early American print culture and challenging our scholarly fixation on the novel, Gardner re-imagines the early American magazine as a literary culture that operated as a model for nation-building by celebrating editorship over authorship and serving as a virtual salon.

Cet ouvrage met en lumière des imprimeurs, traducteurs, lettrés et autres figures discrètes du livre ancien des XVIe et XVIIe siècles, figures souvent oubliées par l'histoire mais qui ont pourtant contribué au succès et à la diffusion des ouvrages imprimés en leur temps. Il montre également combien il faut tenir compte de leur travail pour réaliser des éditions savantes.

À la fin du xixe siècle aux États-Unis, la littérature d'écrivains noirs était encore placée sous le signe du soupçon, et ses auteurs demeuraient des exceptions. En publiant son premier recueil de nouvelles en 1899 dans l'une des plus grandes maisons d'édition de l'époque, Charles W. Chesnutt allait devenir un pionnier de la littérature noire du xxe siècle. Redécouvert dans les années 1960, méconnu en France, cet auteur figure aujourd'hui parmi les classiques de la littérature des États-Unis. Son accès à la publication dans une société profondément discriminatoire, au moment où l'édition américaine se constituait en véritable industrie et voyait se transformer la relation éditeur-auteur, nous pousse à interroger la complexité des relations entre éditeurs blancs et auteurs noirs. Cette histoire particulière éclaire plus largement un pan du développement de l'histoire de l'édition aux États-Unis, entre 1880 et 1910. Ancrée dans une double tradition française et anglo-saxonne, cette étude propose de retracer le trajet et la formation de cet écrivain africain-américain depuis son désir d'écriture, sa formation, l'apprentissage d'une profession, jusqu'à la matérialisation de son texte, et la diffusion de son premier livre. Au terme de cette trajectoire, c'est bien le passage par lequel The Conjure Woman devint livre qui se dévoile, révélant les mécanismes de la métamorphose du texte en objet de lecture.

Rousseau a toujours eu peur que ses œuvres ne soient falsifiées, si bien que le Rousseau qui parviendrait aux générations futures serait un autre que lui. Il fut, longtemps, le plus souvent opposé à Voltaire, sauf lorsqu’ils étaient considérés tous deux comme les représentants les plus glorieux ou les plus condamnables du siècle des Lumières. On suit d’abord ici, à travers sa correspondance et celle de ses imprimeurs et intermédiaires, sa lutte pour laisser ses œuvres en mains sûres, puis la longue histoire, au cours de plus de deux siècles et demi, des éditions collectives dans leurs incarnations nombreuses et controversées. Chaque édition représente, certes, un investissement financier, mais aussi une gageure artistique, idéologique, pédagogique voire politique. Cette comparaison diachronique permet de réunir des données dispersées dans quantité de bibliothèques et souvent cataloguées de manière inadéquate. On voit ainsi se dessiner une grande variété de formats, de présentations, de censures et de contenus. Enfin, le XXe siècle voit paraître des éditions plus scientifiques, ayant fait l’objet de nombreuses études qui trouvent leur aboutissement dans les dernières éditions publiées à l’occasion du tricentenaire de l’auteur. Rousseau was always afraid that his works might be forged and that the Rousseau who reached future generations would be someone other than himself. Over a long period of time, he was most often in disagreement with Voltaire, except when they were both considered to be the most glorious or most reprehensible representatives of the Enlightenment. Firstly here, through his correspondence and that of his printers and intermediaries, we follow his struggle to leave his works in safe hands, and then the long story, covering more than two and a half centuries, of the editions of his collected works in their many and controversial incarnations. Each edition obviously represents a financial investment but also an artistic, ideological, pedagogical,…
