In The House of Blackwood, David Finkelstein exposes for the first time the successes and failures of this onetime publishing powerhouse. Finkelstein begins with a general history of the Blackwood firm from 1804 to 1920, attending to family dynamics over several generations, to their molding of a particular political and national culture, to the shaping of a Blackwood?s audience, and to the multiple causes for the firm?s decline in the decades before World War I. He then uses six case studies of authors?Conrad, Oliphant, John Hanning Speke, George Tompkyns Chesney, Charles Reade, and E. M. Forster?and their relationships with the publishing house. He mines the voluminous correspondence of the firm with its authors and, eventually, with the authors? agents. The value of the archive Finkelstein studies is its completeness, the depth of the ledger material (particularly interesting given that the Blackwoods did much of their own printing), and the extraordinary longevity of the firm. A key value of Finkelstein?s account is his attention to the author/publisher/reader circuit that Robert Darnton emphasizes as the central focus of book history.Herstellungsland und -region: USHöhe: 229mmLänge: 152mmBreite: 15mmGewicht: 318gBuchreihe: Penn State Series in the History of the BookSprache: Englisch Information fehlt?Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Details fehlen und wir werden diese solange möglich zu unserer Beschreibung hinzufügen., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Buchtitel: House of Blackwood, Publikationsname: House of Blackwood, Title: House of Blackwood, Subtitle: Author-Publisher Relations in the Victorian Era, Format: Taschenbuch, Produktart: Taschenbuch, ISBN-10: 0271058366, EAN: 9780271058368, Erscheinungsdatum: 15.08.2012, Herstellungsland und -region: US, Höhe: 229mm, Länge: 152mm, Breite: 15mm, Gewicht: 318g, Buchreihe: Penn State Series in the History of the Book, Sprache: Englisch, Pennsylvania State University Press, 2012<
