Beschreibung

The Contemporary Small Press: Making Publishing Visible addresses the contemporary literary small press in the US and UK from the perspective of a range of disciplines. Covering numerous aspects of small press publishing-poetry and fiction, children's publishing, the importance of ethical commitments, the relation to the mainstream, the attitudes of those working for presses, the role of the state in supporting presses-scholars from literary criticism, the sociology of literature and publishing studies demonstrate how a variety of approaches and methods are needed to fully understand the contemporary small press and its significance for literary studies and for broader literary culture.

Rezensionen

"The Contemporary Small Press is a rich collection of essays that illustrates the historical and current significance of the small press. It will appeal not only to researchers and publishers, but to anyone willing to explore the topic." (Marcinmark, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada, Vol. 60, 2023)

"Each essay represents an interesting contribution to publishing and/or small-press Studies ... . the volume's introduction makes a valiant and broadly successful effort to present the industry status quo, plus an overview of small-press scholarship. It provides a valuable analysis, as will individual essays tied to readers' interests." (Jodie Lea Martire, Publishing Research Quarterly, September 1, 2023)
