Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since the printing press has a media object been as celebrated for its role in the advancement of knowledge as the scientific journal. From open communication to peer review, the scientific journal has long been central both to the identity of academic scientists and to the public legitimacy of scientific knowledge. But that was not always the case. At the dawn of the nineteenth century, academies and societies dominated elite study of the natural world. Journals were a relatively marginal feature of this world, and sometimes even an object of outright suspicion. The Scientific Journal tells the story of how that changed. Alex Csiszar takes readers deep into nineteenth-century London and Paris, where savants struggled to reshape scientific life in the light of rapidly changing political mores and the growing importance of the press in public life. The scientific journal did not arise as a natural solution to the problem of communicating scientific discoveries. Rather, as Csiszar shows, its dominance was a hard-won compromise born of political exigencies, shifting epistemic values, intellectual property debates, and the demands of commerce. Many of the tensions and problems that plague scholarly publishing today are rooted in these tangled beginnings. As we seek to make sense of our own moment of intense experimentation in publishing platforms, peer review, and information curation, Csiszar argues powerfully that a better understanding of the journal’s past will be crucial to imagining future forms for the expression and organization of knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is an author? What is a text? At a time when the definition of "text" is expanding and the technology whereby texts are produced and disseminated is changing at an explosive rate, the ways "authorship" is defined and rights conferred upon authors must also be reconsidered. This volume argues that contemporary copyright law, rooted as it is in a nineteenth-century Romantic understanding of the author as a solitary creative genius, may be inapposite to the realities of cultural production. Drawing together distinguished scholars from literature, law, and the social sciences, the volume explores the social and cultural construction of authorship as a step toward redefining notions of authorship and copyright for today's world. These essays, illustrating cultural studies in action, are aggressively interdisciplinary and wide-ranging in topic and approach. Questions of collective and collaborative authorship in both contemporary and early modern contexts are addressed. Other topics include moral theory and authorship; copyright and the balance between competing interests of authors and the public; problems of international copyright; musical sampling and its impact on "fair use" doctrine; cinematic authorship; quotation and libel; alternative views of authorship as exemplified by nineteenth-century women's clubs and by the Renaissance commonplace book; authorship in relation to broadcast media and to the teaching of writing; and the material dimension of authorship as demonstrated by Milton's publishing contract.

Book excerpt: Authorial introductions, prefaces, and forewords have been part of literature for centuries. However, they are rarely the focus of analysis; scholars and readers find them secondary, auxiliary, or unnecessary in regards to the primary text to which they are attached. Though several scholars brand authorial prefaces as biographical material, very few recognize the space as more than secondary. Prefaces service the needs of the author function fully, with public consumption the major goal. These devices serve as frames to the text proper and strategically alter meaning, intention, and reception prior to the consumption of a literary product. These aspects of publishing assist in the increased sales of books. However, these pieces do not exist solely to promote the sale of books. Authorial prefaces promote and represent a certain type of authorship integral to the growth of American authority in the twentieth century. These pieces help us trace the authorial careers and artistic moves of several writers not only biographically but also textually. Why were certain books given prefaces and others not? Why did authors choose to remove, replace or revise prefaces and prologues in subsequent editions of specific texts? What can be said for an author's legacy in the context of his or her prefaces? How much direction is given in them, and where can that direction help or hinder certain readings of texts? Can the preface in production change the textual makeup of the given text, and can that text be permanently altered because of it? Do unpublished or unfinished/aborted prefaces say as much about an author's professional attributes as his/her published texts? These questions are paramount in understanding the business of literature in the twentieth century. Authorial introductions serve as hallmarks of compromise, as each offers a specific glimpse into the profession of authorship and the business of literature. Through the examination of both published and unpublished prefaces in several existing textual forms (manuscript, typescript, galley proof, serial, first and subsequent editions, reprints, paperback editions, etc.), we see writers struggle with, manipulate, and access their authority in order to make public their personal artistic expectations and evolve from writers to authors.
