Abstract

‘Reading by Numbers: Recalibrating the Literary Field’ is the first book to use digital humanities strategies to integrate the scope and methods of book and publishing history with issues and debates in literary studies. By mining, visualising and modelling data from ‘AustLit’ – an online bibliography of Australian literature that leads the world in its comprehensiveness and scope – this study revises established conceptions of Australian literary history, presenting new ways of writing about literature and publishing and a new direction for digital humanities research. The case studies in this book offer insight into a wide range of features of the literary field, including trends and cycles in the gender of novelists, the formation of fictional genres and literary canons, and the relationship of Australian literature to other national literatures.

Abstract

En los últimos veinte o treinta años se ha producido en todo el mundo una concentración extraordinaria de la industria editorial: la mayor parte del mercado global pertenece a ocho o diez empresas, integradas en grupos que tienen también periódicos, revistas, productoras de cine, discográficas, cadenas de radio y televisión. El negocio de los libros se ha convertido en un gran negocio, incorporado a la industria del espectáculo. Y eso tiene consecuencias sobre el tipo de libros que se publican y sobre el modo en que se venden, sobre las librerías y las prácticas de lectura. La tensión entre literatura y mercado es antigua. Tanto como el mercado de libros. Y traduce una relación problemática entre los autores -los más conscientes de su oficio, los más exigentes- y su público. La situación actual no es radicalmente nueva o insólita, sino producto de una evolución casi natural de la industria del libro.

Abstract

This two-volume work, originally published in 1705 and now reissued in John Nichols' edition of 1818, was one of the earliest examples of autobiographical writing in English. John Dunton (1659-1732), a highly eccentric bookseller and publisher, was also responsible for one of the first periodicals in London, the Athenian Gazette, which invited its readers to submit questions on any topic, to be answered by the Athenian Society, a group of learned men (in fact, Dunton himself and some cronies). However, he was not a practical businessman, and the death of his wife and his own illness led to poverty, and to hack-work for others. The Life and Errors was followed by pamphlets attacking those whom he blamed for his misfortunes. The work gives a fascinating picture of authors and the book trade in Restoration London. Volume 2 contains selections by Nichols from Dunton's works.

Abstract

50 Jahre Wilhelm Fink Verlag. Eine Chronik Als „Kreativpool der Geisteswissenschaften” würdigte die Süddeutsche Zeitung den Wilhelm Fink Verlag, der 1962 vom Verleger gleichen Namens in München gegründet wurde und zunächst weitgehend auf literaturwissenschaftliche und philosophische Literatur spezialisiert war. Später rückten Bild- und Medienwissenschaften, Kulturgeschichte und Philosophie immer mehr in den Mittelpunkt. Neben dem Fachbuch wird auch das wissenschaftliche Sachbuch für ein breiteres, anspruchsvolles Lesepublikum im Programm ausgebaut. Dabei versteht sich der Wilhelm Fink Verlag als Impulsgeber für aktuelle Themen und Debatten. In der Tat bestimmen die Autoren des Wilhelm Fink Verlages maßgeblich die Diskussion, wenn Themen und Namen aus den Bereichen der Bild- und Medienwissenschaften, der Kulturgeschichte, der Literaturwissenschaft und der Philosophie in den großen Feuilletons im Mittelpunkt stehen.

Abstract

Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s-1940sexplores how Australian writers and their works were present in the United States before the mid twentieth century to a much greater degree than previously acknowledged. Drawing on fresh archival research and combining the approaches of literary criticism, print culture studies and book history, David Carter and Roger Osborne demonstrate that Australian writing was transnational long before the contemporary period. In mapping Australian literature's connections to British and US markets, their research challenges established understandings of national, imperial and world literatures.
