Description

These 17 essays by a group of international scholars offer new knowledge and insights into the history of the English book trade within the 18th century, a period that saw the upward push of the pro creator. No collection can cover the entire range of this topic, but there may be a lot of subjects providing a historical context for the writing, printing, publishing, and distributing of books: women within the book trade, bankruptcy in bookselling, uses of newspaper advertizements to review the book trade, book reviewing and provincial readership of books and reviews. A few of the literary figures regarded as are Pope, Johnson, Fielding, Smollett and Sterne. A few of the contributors are Patricia Hernlyund, G. Thomas Tanselle, K.I.D Maslen, Nicolas Barker, J.D. Fleeman, Thomas R. Adams and the editor.
