Abstract

Publishing is one of the oldest and most influential businesses in the world. It remains an essential creative and knowledge industry, worth over $140 billion a year, which continues to shape our education and culture. Two trends make this a particularly exciting time. The first is the revolution in communications technology that has transformed what it means to publish; far from resting on their laurels and retreating into tradition, publishers are doing as they always have - staying on the cutting edge. The second is the growing body of academic work that studies publishing in its many forms. Both mean that there has never been a more important time to examine this essential practice and the current state of knowledge. The Oxford Handbook of Publishing marks the coming of age of the scholarship in publishing studies with a comprehensive exploration of current research, featuring contributions from both industry professionals and internationally renowned scholars on subjects such as copyright, corporate social responsibility, globalizing markets, and changing technology. This authoritative volume looks at the relationship of the book publishing industry with other media, and how intellectual property underpins what publishers do. It outlines the complex and risky economics of the industry and examines how marketing, publicity, and sales have become ever more central aspects of business practice, while also exploring different sectors in depth and giving full treatment to the transformational and much discussed impact of digital publishing. This Handbook is essential reading for anyone interested in publishing, literature, and the business of media, entertainment, culture, communication, and information.

Abstract

Au siècle des Lumières le monde du livre en France apparaît des plus réglementés, marqué qu'il est par l'encadrement censorial, le contingentement des places d'imprimeur, la surveillance policière et corporative et une apparente "anémie provinciale". À Paris comme en province, notamment en Basse-Normandie, les Lumières et leurs livres (prohibés ou non) se propagent néanmoins, ainsi qu'une foule de contrefaçons et de livrets de colportage. Or les libraires en titre ne sont pas, loin de là, les seuls agents d'une telle diffusion. Tout un réseau de "libraires forains", originaires pour la plupart des environs de Coutances, y contribue activement, dans un large quart nord-ouest du royaume. Ce monde grouillant ressemble à celui qu'a décrit Robert Darnton à travers les correspondants de la Société typographique de Neuchâtel, mais son ancrage remarquable en Basse-Normandie donne à ce volume de la Prosopographie des gens du livre en France au XVIIIe siècle sa coloration particulière. Si parmi ses 592 notices biographiques figurent certes 250 Caennais, on y compte aussi une centaine de libraires forains et de colporteurs de livres issus du petit village de Muneville-le-Bingard (Manche).
