Abstract

Reprinting, republishing and re-covering old books in new clothes is an established publishing practice. How are books that have fallen out of taste and favour resituated by publishers, and recognised by readers, as relevant and timely? This Element outlines three historical textures within British culture of the late 1970s and early 1980s - History, Remembrance and Heritage - that enabled Virago's reprint publishing to become a commercial and cultural success. With detailed archival case studies of the Virago Reprint Library, Testament of Youth and the Virago Modern Classics, it elaborates how reprints were profitable for the publisher and moved Virago's books - and the Virago brand name - from the periphery of culture to the centre. Throughout Virago's reprint publishing - and especially with the Modern Classics - the epistemic revelation that women writers were forgotten and could, therefore, be rediscovered, was repeated, again and again, and made culturally productive through the marketplace.

Abstract

Die in der Frühen Neuzeit gängige Praxis der Neuauflage druckgraphischer Einzelblätter und Serien war nicht nur von ökonomischen Interessen der Verleger geleitet, sondern zugleich Ausdruck einer innovativen ästhetischen Auseinandersetzung mit bestehenden Bildfindungen. Das Spektrum dieses produktiven Umgangs mit etablierten Inventionen umfasste unveränderte Wiederauflagen respektive Kopien, aber auch konzeptuelle Überarbeitungen und Ergänzungen sowie programmatische Umkontextualisierungen. Im Anschluss an neuere kunsthistorische Forschungen, die im Akt des zeichnerischen, malerischen oder druckgraphischen Reproduzierens ein signifikantes gestalterisches Potenzial erkannt haben, sollen derartige Neukonfigurationen in der nordalpinen Druckgraphik als mediale Formen kreativer Aneignung begriffen werden. In diesem Sinne sind Neuauflagen als (Re-)Inventionen zu verstehen, deren spezifischen visuellen Strategien der Anlehnung an und Abweichung von vorhergehenden Auflagen sich der interdisziplinäre Band widmen möchte. Anhand von Fallstudien wird untersucht, inwieweit sich die nach wie vor diskutierten Fragen nach den sozioökonomischen Faktoren der Produktion und Rezeption von Druckgraphiken mit Überlegungen zu deren Relevanz als kultureller Artikulationsraum und Medium künstlerischer (Selbst-)Reflexion verbinden lassen. This interdisciplinary volume examines a practice that was common in the early modern north Alpine region, namely the making of new edition prints, and argues that it was a complex aesthetic strategy of creative appropriation. It focuses on the socioeconomic factors involved in the production and reception of print (re-)inventions and considers their relevance as a space of cultural articulation and a medium of artistic (self-)reflection.

Abstract

"It's happened to all of us: we're reading a book, something interrupts us, and we grab the closest thing at hand to mark our spot. It could be a train ticket, a letter, an advertisement, a photograph, or a four-leaf clover. Eventually the book finds its way into the world-a library, a flea market, other people's bookshelves, or to a used bookstore. But what becomes of those forgotten bookmarks? What stories could they tell? By day, Michael Popek works in his family's used bookstore. By night, he's the voyeuristic force behind www.forgottenbookmarks.com, where he shares the weird objects he has found among the stacks at his store. Forgotten Bookmarks is a scrapbook of Popek's most interesting finds. Sure, there are actual bookmarks, but there are also pictures and ticket stubs, old recipes and notes, valentines, unsent letters, four-leaf clovers, and various sordid, heartbreaking, and bizarre keepsakes. Together this collection of lost treasures offers a glimpse into other readers' lives that they never intended for us to see. "--

Abstract

A genuinely original work, The Art of the Reprint establishes the reprint as a vital area of study. In tightly curated encounters between extraordinary twentieth-century artists and beloved nineteenth-century novels, Clare Leighton travels to Dorset to minutely observe Thomas Hardy's landscape for a 1929 The Return of the Native (1878); Rockwell Kent channels his many sea journeys into a 1930 Moby Dick (1851); Fritz Eichenberg transposes the churn and isolation of fleeing Nazi Germany onto Expressionistic engravings for Charlotte Bront©±'s Jane Eyre (1847); and Joan Hassall elucidates a bright social world at miniature scale for a 1975 set of The Complete Novels of Jane Austen (1787-1817). Mediators between text and book and author and reader, these artists interpreted these novels and then illustrated their interpretations, stunningly and strangely, in wood, ink, and paper, for everyday readers.
