Book Synopsis The British Publishing Industry in the Nineteenth Century by : David Finkelstein
Download or read book The British Publishing Industry in the Nineteenth Century written by David Finkelstein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-14 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assembles documents that illustrate the changing relations between authors and publishers in the nineteenth century, and the impact of copyright reform on publishing practices. The enormous expansion in the scale and variety of the marketplace for print after 1815 provided new opportunities for authors and prompted debates over intellectual property and the working relations between authors and publishers. The volume documents the impact of these changes on the publishing industry and its markets, focusing on key moments such as the emergence of the professional literary agent in the late 1870s and the formation of the Incorporated Society of Authors in 1883. It also includes key contemporary material related to copyright and intellectual property, which were major battle grounds affecting nineteenth-century textual circulation, author/publisher relations, financial sustainability, competitiveness in international markets, and industrial relations. The British publishing industry’s attempts to control piracy and unrestricted circulation of their titles in the US and elsewhere found expression in a number of pressure campaigns, formal government commissions, legal acts, and contributions to public debate through journal articles, pamphlets, speeches, and newspaper accounts, of which a representative selection are featured in this volume.
Book Synopsis A Victorian Publisher by : Royal A. Gettmann
Download or read book A Victorian Publisher written by Royal A. Gettmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the rise and activity of the London publishing house which started in 1829 as Bentley and Colburn and was finally absorbed by Macmillan in 1898. Professor Gettmann has worked from the surviving papers of the firm and it is probable that he has here given more detail about the aims, methods and successes of an English publisher of the time than can be found anywhere else. Since there is constant reference from the activities of Bentley to that of his contemporaries, it is also a microcosm of English authorship and publishing from the time of Scott to that of Meredith: one of the great period of English publishing enterprise. It discusses movements of taste and cycles of popular reading and illustrates the relationship between publisher and author. It also deals with authors' contracts and rewards and in short, deals with every aspect of English publishing in an important period.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Writing written by Charles Bazerman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 1053 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Research on Writing ventures to sum up inquiry over the last few decades on what we know about writing and the many ways we know it: How do people write? How do they learn to write and develop as writers? Under what conditions and for what purposes do people write? What resources and technologies do we use to write? How did our current forms and practices of writing emerge within social history? What impacts has writing had on society and the individual? What does it mean to be and to learn to be an active participant in contemporary systems of meaning? This cornerstone volume advances the field by aggregating the broad-ranging, interdisciplinary, multidimensional strands of writing research and bringing them together into a common intellectual space. Endeavoring to synthesize what has been learned about writing in all nations in recent decades, it reflects a wide scope of international research activity, with attention to writing at all levels of schooling and in all life situations. Chapter authors, all eminent researchers, come from disciplines as diverse as anthropology, archeology, typography, communication studies, linguistics, journalism, sociology, rhetoric, composition, law, medicine, education, history, and literacy studies. The Handbook’s 37 chapters are organized in five sections: *The History of Writing; *Writing in Society; *Writing in Schooling; *Writing and the Individual; *Writing as Text This volume, in summing up what is known about writing, deepens our experience and appreciation of writing—in ways that will make teachers better at teaching writing and all of its readers better as individual writers. It will be interesting and useful to scholars and researchers of writing, to anyone who teaches writing in any context at any level, and to all those who are just curious about writing.
Book Synopsis The AuthorHouse Scam by : Robin Levin
Download or read book The AuthorHouse Scam written by Robin Levin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Four years after having published my book with Trafford, a subsidiary of AuthorHouse, I was still getting phone calls from their high-powered phone salespeople, known as marketing consultants, to persuade me to buy their expensive marketing gimmicks. I must admit that I had given in far too often in the past, and they were quite sure they could continue to milk my bank account. Almost immediately buyer's remorse set in with a vengeance. How could I do this! I know this is a scam, why am I so stupid? I'm supposed to be a reasonably intelligent woman! Nothing they've ever done on my behalf has had the slightest impact on book sales. Super expensive services with nothing to show for them. How could I have let them talk me into kicking Lucy's football again? Again! Am I the only fool? Have others had the same experiences with these people? I decided to look a bit more extensively into what I came to realize was the AuthorHouse Scam, and have written this book to share my experiences and findings with other authors and potential authors."

Book Synopsis Bernard Shaw's Book Reviews by : Brian Tyson
Download or read book Bernard Shaw's Book Reviews written by Brian Tyson and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2008-01-31 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These hitherto uncollected book reviews of Shaw--his first journalistic efforts--reveal much not only about the writer but also the culture of the time in which he lived. Between 1885 and 1888, Bernard Shaw published 111 book reviews in the Pall Mall Gazette. In spite of their importance as the first regular journalism Shaw wrote and the fact that the books (fiction, nonfiction, plays, and poetry) he read during these years must have formed the nucleus of his permanent library, the reviews have never before been analyzed in connection with Shaw's work. Brian Tyson has assembled the book reviews, complete with the books' titles, authors, and a brief biography of each author, including any comments Shaw made about the review, and has placed them in historical context, elucidating any interesting, difficult, or obscure references. Tyson's critical introduction places the reviews in the context of Shaw's work and Victorian society. The reviews are often characterized by the wit and brilliance that we associate with the later Shaw, shedding light on his development as a writer at his most formative stage. Regardless of the merits of the material Shaw was reviewing, it is amusing and enlightening to follow him down to the wandering tributaries of Late Victorian fiction and poetry, which reveal as much about Shaw as they do about the preoccupations and prejudices of the average reader of the day.
