La 4e de couv. indique : "Spécialiste des Lumières, Robert Darnton a développé une approche anthropologique par le biais de l'histoire du livre et de la lecture. Pour ce faire, il a puisé dans un fonds inédit, les archives de la Société typographique de Neufchâtel, fondée en 1769 - une correspondance de 50 000 lettres, les états des stocks, les pièces comptables, les livres de commandes qui recréent l'univers du livre, des imprimeurs, colporteurs, libraires et lecteurs pendant les vingt dernières années de l'Ancien Régime. Or, il s'y trouve le carnet tenu au jour le jour par un commis voyageur, Jean-François Favarger, qui entreprend, pour la STN en 1778 et pendant plusieurs mois, un tour de France littéraire en rendant visite aux libraires (un quadrilatère de Pontarlier et Besançon jusqu'à Poitiers et La Rochelle puis Bordeaux, Toulouse, Montpellier et Marseille, retour par Lyon et Bourg-en-Bresse). Il prend des commandes, classe les librair es en partenaires fiables ou aventuriers mauvais payeurs, affiche des valeurs calvinistes rigoureuses (se défier d'un libraire catholique, bon bougre mais qui a trop d'enfants et conséquemment ne se concentre pas assez sur son commerce). Il négocie des traites ou des échanges d'ouvrages publiés par la STN contre d'autres succès imprimés par les libraires-éditeurs et livrés dans des balles de feuilles non reliées et mélangées avec des ouvrages édifiants et autorisés car le commerce porte sur des textes soit censurés, soit interdits puisque piratés en violation du privilège des éditeurs parisiens ; enfin, il évalue les risques des voies empruntées par les colporteurs-passeurs à la barbe des douaniers ou avec leur complicité, tant la corruption règne. Cette chaîne du livre, depuis les entrepôts de la STN jusqu'aux mains des lecteurs, permet enfin d'évaluer ce que furent à la STN les meilleures ventes des Lumières en dehors des élit es politiques et sociales : "Anecdotes sur Mme la comtesse du Barry" de Pisandat de Mairobert ; l'"An 2440" de Mercier ; le "Mémoire" de Necker ; "La révolution opérée par M. de Maupeou" de Mouffle d'Angerville ; l'"Histoire philosophique" de l'abbé Raynal, loin devant "La Pucelle d'Orléans" de Voltaire. Il s'agit donc ici d'un livre essentiel à la compréhension des Lumières et des origines culturelles et intellectuelles de la Révolution."

Comment expliquer le pouvoir du livre à l'époque des Lumières si on ignore le fonctionnement de l'industrie de l'édition ? Il importe de savoir que la moitié au moins des livres vendus en France entre 1750 et 1789 étaient piratés. Du fait des politiques centralisées de l'État, soucieux de surveillance, la Communauté des libraires et imprimeurs de Paris monopolisait les privilèges des livres et ruinait presque toute édition dans les provinces. En réaction, hors de la capitale, les libraires s'approvisionnaient de plus en plus auprès de maisons d'édition qui produisaient des livres français en des lieux stratégiques hors des frontières du royaume - dans ce que Robet Darnton appelle le "Croissant fertile" : d'Amsterdam à Bruxelles, par la Rhénanie, à travers la Suisse et en descendant vers Avignon, les éditeurs pirataient tout ce qui en France se vendait avec quelque succès. Grâce à une main-d'oeuvre et à un papier peu coûteux, les contrefaçons étaient moins chères que les oeuvres produites avec privilèges à Paris. En conséquence, une alliance naturelle se développa entre les libraires de province et les éditeurs étrangers qui razziaient le marché avec un esprit d'entreprise audacieux. Tel fut l'autre visage des Lumières : un capitalisme de butin

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.

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.

"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.

"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"--
