Abstract

In juni 1935 komen tientallen internationaal beroemde auteurs naar het Internationale Schrijverscongres ter verdediging van de Cultuur in Parijs om er hun zorg over het opkomend fascisme te uiten. Het congres blijkt echter al snel een dekmantel voor een ontluisterende Sovjetpropaganda. Voor de burgerlijke gastsprekers is het een traumatische ervaring. Het congres is het slotakkoord van de politisering van de Franse schrijvers aan de vooravond van de linkse regeringscoalitie van het Front Populaire. Aan de hand van de levens van de boekverkopers Adrienne Monnier en Sylvia Beach en de schrijvers André Gide, André Malraux en de Nederlander Eddy du Perron, ontrafelt Rob Luckerhof de intriges binnen het literaire circuit van Parijs tijdens het interbellum. Onder de dreiging van een nieuwe oorlog verandert het swingende cultuurcentrum in een politiek geëngageerde literaire wereld. --Walburg Pers

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).

Abstract

La corporation des imprimeurs-libraires de Rouen, fondée en 1579, demeure paradoxalement méconnue alors que l'édition constitue une activité économique essentielle aux xvie et xviie siècles. Cette monographie analyse comment les professionnels du «petit monde du livre» du troisième centre typographique du royaume s’insèrent dans une société urbaine bibliophile, mais déchirée par les affrontements confessionnels et politiques. --Le Comptoir des presses d'universités

Abstract

In the late-18th century, a group of publishers in what historian Robert Darnton calls the "Fertile Crescent" countries located along the French border, stretching from Holland to Switzerland pirated the works of prominent (and often banned) French writers and distributed them in France, where laws governing piracy were in flux and any notion of "copyright" very much in its infancy. Piracy was entirely legal and everyone acknowledged tacitly or openly that these pirated editions of works by Rousseau, Voltaire, and Diderot, among other luminaries, supplied a growing readership within France, one whose needs could not be met by the monopolistic and tightly controlled Paris Guild.Darnton's book focuses principally on a publisher in Switzerland, one of the largest and whose archives are the most complete. Through the lens of this concern, he offers a sweeping view of the world of writing, publishing, and especially bookselling in pre-Revolutionary France--a vibrantly detailed inside look at a cut-throat industry that was struggling to keep up with the times and, if possible, make a profit off them. Featuring a fascinating cast of characters lofty idealists and down-and-dirty opportunists this new book expands upon on Darnton's celebrated work on book-publishing in France, most recently found in Literary Tour de France. Pirating and Publishing reveals how and why piracy brought the Enlightenment to every corner of France, feeding the ideas that would explode into revolution.

Abstract

"The publishing industry in France in the years before the Revolution was a lively and sometimes rough-and-tumble affair, as publishers and printers scrambled to deal with (and if possible evade) shifting censorship laws and tax regulations, in order to cater to a reading public's appetite for books of all kinds, from the famous Encyclopédie, repository of reason and knowledge, to scandal-mongering libel and pornography. Historian and librarian Robert Darnton uses his exclusive access to a trove of documents-letters and documents from authors, publishers, printers, paper millers, type founders, ink manufacturers, smugglers, wagon drivers, warehousemen, and accountants-involving a publishing house in the Swiss town of Neuchatel to bring this world to life. Like other places on the periphery of France, Switzerland was a hotbed of piracy, carefully monitoring the demand for certain kinds of books and finding ways of fulfilling it. Focusing in particular on the diary of Jean-François Favarger, a traveling sales rep for a Swiss firm whose 1778 voyage, on horseback and on foot, around France to visit bookstores and renew accounts forms the spine of this story, Darnton reveals not only how the industry worked and which titles were in greatest demand, but the human scale of its operations. A Literary Tour de France is literally that. Darnton captures the hustle, picaresque comedy, and occasional risk of Favarger's travels in the service of books, and in the process offers an engaging, immersive, and unforgettable narrative of book culture at a critical moment in France's history"--

Abstract

This is a rich and path-breaking comparative study of reading tastes in the final years of old regime Europe. Based on extensive research in the account books of the Swiss publishers, the Société Typographique de Neuchâtel (STN), and related archives, it charts the dissemination of literature and reading tastes across Europe in the years leading up to the French revolution. In the process, it recasts our understanding of late 18th-century print culture and the contours of the enlightenment. The fruit of a widely acclaimed five year database project, the STN database, it is also a story of pioneering efforts to apply the latest digital technology and GIS mapping techniques to traditional historical and bibliographic problems. Although written to serve as a standalone study, this book is ideally complemented by its companion volume, Mark Curran's The French Book Trade in Enlightenment Europe I: Selling Enlightenment, which offers a radical reinterpretation of the structure and practices of the European book trade. The STN database is now recognised as a cutting-edge digital project of global significance. Robert Darnton has called it "a prodigious accomplishment and a joy to use" while Jeremy Popkin adds, "No one working in the field of French Enlightenment studies ... can afford to ignore the rich mine of data that Simon Burrows and his collaborators have made accessible, in an eminently usable form, and the new possibilities it opens up for scholars." The French Book Trade in Enlightenment Europe I and II offer a roadmap of that data and what it can show us.

Abstract

"This volume is a ground-breaking contribution to enlightenment studies and the international and cross-cultural history of print. The result of a five year research project, the volume traces the output and dissemination of books and how reading tastes changed in the years 1769-1794. Mapping the book trade of the Société Typographique de Neuchâtel (STN), a Swiss publisher-wholesaler which operated throughout Europe, the authors reconstruct the cosmopolitan elite culture of the later enlightenment, incorporating many engaging case studies. The STN's archives are uniquely rich in both detail and range, and while these archives have long attracted book historians (notably Robert Darnton, a leading scholar of the Enlightenment), existing work is fragmentary and limited in scope. By means of comparative study, the author considers the entire book market across Europe, making local, regional and chronological nuances, based on advanced taxonomies of subject content, author information, markers of illegality and much more. This volume is, in short, the most diverse and detailed study of the late 18th-century book trade yet, while offering fresh insights into the enlightenment."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

C'est à Lyon, entre octobre 1831 et mai 1834, que paraît le premier journal ouvrier pérenne publié en France. Là, aux temps des insurrections, les canuts créent leur propre organe, un hebdomadaire de huit pages sur deux colonnes, L'Écho de la fabrique. Durant plusieurs mois, les chefs d'atelier et ouvriers en soie vont prendre voix dans leur journal pour tenter d'adapter le régime complexe de la fabrique lyonnaise à l'évolution industrielle en cours, et préserver ainsi leur autonomie et leur liberté. Pour cela, Antoine Vidal, Joachim Falconnet, Marius Chastaing, Joseph Bouvery, Jacques Rivière Cadet, Michel-Marie Derrion, César Bernard, mais aussi une multitude de correspondants locaux débattent dans les pages de L'Écho de « l'association industrielle » et de « l'enseignement mutuel » ; ils tiennent la chronique des séances du conseil des prud'hommes, développent leurs réfl exions sur l'économie sociale, présentent leurs poèmes, chansons et charades, ou multiplient les conseils pratiques, dans le domaine de l'hygiène aussi bien que dans celui de la « jurisprudence usuelle ». Réunis dans cet ouvrage, historiens, sociologues, littéraires, linguistes, politistes, philosophes et économistes proposent de traverser le corpus de L'Écho de la fabrique selon leurs propres curiosités et interrogations. Les perspectives mises en oeuvre révèlent la richesse et l'importance de ce journal ouvrier. Elles montrent son caractère unique sur le plan social, économique, linguistique et pour l'histoire même du phénomène de l'imprimé.
