Mary Hammond

Reading, Publishing and the Formation of Literary Taste in England, 1880-1914 (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Between 1880 and 1914, England saw the emergence of an unprecedented range of new literary forms, which meant new relationships between books, authors, readers and classifications of taste. Hammond uses previously unexamined archive material and focuses in detail on the working practices of selected publishers and distributors to make an original and important contribution to our understanding of the cultural dynamics and rhetorics of the fin-de-siècle literary field in England.
