About this book

These essays explore the remarkable expansion of publishing from 1750 to 1850 which reflected the growth of literacy, and the diversification of the reading public. Experimentation with new genres, methods of advertising, marketing and dissemination, forms of critical reception and modes of access to writing are also examined in detail. This collection represents a new wave of critical writing extending cultural materialism beyond its accustomed concern with historicizing the words on the page into the economics of literature, and the investigation of neglected areas of print culture.

Reviews

'This volume effectively maps out a new field of interdisciplinary study, and it brings together scholars whose very different approaches are all individual and cutting edge...this is a book that can be used by students at all levels, from undergraduates right through to high-level researchers.' - Professor Philip Martin, Royal Holloway College, University of London
