Abstract

Au Canada, le XXe siècle inaugure une époque faste en matière de culture du livre et de l'imprimé. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, l'émergence de maisons d'édition indépendantes, d'associations d'auteurs, la création de prix littéraires et scientifiques et de subventions à la production, notamment au Québec, sont autant de signes de la vitalité du livre dans la transmission et la promotion d'une culture nationale, désormais projetée dans la durée et conçue comme un héritage essentiel. C'est ainsi que l'on peut voir se développer une culture du livre distincte de l'imprimerie et de la presse, où les éditeurs deviennent progressivement des architectes de la culture canadienne. Ce troisième volume de l'Histoire du livre et de l'imprimé au Canada couvre la période de 1918 à 1980, durant laquelle des transformations cruciales ont eu lieu. Ainsi, les deux grands groupes linguistiques du pays s'enrichissent de structures éditoriales distinctes, et grâce aux périodiques, les populations autochtones et les communautés ethniques et religieuses s'approprient les outils de la communication écrite pour exprimer leurs valeurs, affirmer leur appartenance sociale et créer des liens de solidarité. La Deuxième Guerre mondiale crée une demande nationale accrue pour le livre canadien qui se déploie alors sur la scène internationale. Au même moment, le cinéma, la radio et la télévision, phénomènes nouveaux, favorisent la pénétration d'une production de masse en provenance des États-Unis. L'affirmation d'une identité canadienne s'accentue encore dans les années 1960 au moment où les littératures canadienne et québécoise connaissent une période d'effervescence sans précédent. Enfin, après plus d'un siècle de luttes et de revendications, d'actions individuelles et collectives, les gouvernements mettent en place des structures de soutien à la création littéraire et au livre qui en assureront l'essor au cours des années 1980.

Abstract

Seeking out rare and precious texts, or book hunting, was a favorite pursuit of the Renaissance humanists, but the activity had been practiced with enthusiasm (and often guile) since antiquity. This paper discusses the phenomenon over time, looking at representative book hunters from Aulus Gellius (second century CE) to Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), who was probably the most famous book hunter of them all. I will consider the discoveries of Catullus, Cicero's Letters to Atticus, and Apuleius as well as several of the most famous finds of Poggio himself, emhasizing in each case the circumstances and method of discovery, the importance of the find, and the fate of the discovered book. The paper will close with a brief epilogue on some modern book hunters.

Abstract

Early American libraries stood at the nexus of two transatlantic branches of commerce--the book trade and the slave trade. Slavery and the Making of Early American Libraries bridges the study of these trades by demonstrating how Americans' profits from slavery were reinvested in imported British books and providing evidence that the colonial book market was shaped, in part, by the demand of slave owners for metropolitan cultural capital. Drawing onrecent scholarship that shows how participation in London cultural life was very expensive in the eighteenth century, as well as evidence that enslavers were therefore some of the few early Americans who could afford to import British cultural products, the volume merges the fields of the history of the book, Atlanticstudies, and the study of race, arguing that the empire-wide circulation of British books was underwritten by the labour of the African diaspora.The volume is the first in early American and eighteenth-century British studies to fuse our growing understanding of the material culture of the transatlantic text with our awareness of slavery as an economic and philanthropic basis for the production and consumption of knowledge. In studying the American dissemination of works of British literature and political thought, it claims that Americans were seeking out the forms of citizenship, constitutional traditions, and rights that were thesignature of that British identity. Even though they were purchasing the sovereignty of Anglo-Americans at the expense of African-Americans through these books, however, some colonials were also making the case for the abolition of slavery.
