This is the first in-depth study on the role of British publishing in 1939-45, an aspect of the World War Two that other books have not covered in any detail. Although frequently referred to as a barren interlude stunted by war and austerity (paper rationing played a crucial role), the period was also marked by innovation in book design, changes in the pattern of trade (the time when Penguin became hugely profitable, and also when a surprising number of shiploads of books were exported), and the advent of new readers in the UK and elsewhere. The book analyses the pivotal role played by publishers in relations between Government and people, shedding light on the intervention by wartime ministries at all stages of book production, and assesses the extent to which war affected the corpus of literature that was published. This fascinating period has been intensively studied by social and political historians but is virtually untouched by historians of the book until now. This major new study draws extensively on previously unpublished and often un-catalogued archive material, and will fill a gap in the book history market.

Beginning by mapping out an overview of the expansion of elementary education in Britain across the nineteenth century, Andrew Murphy explores, for the first time, the manner in which Shakespeare acquired a working-class readership. He traces developments in publishing which meant that editions of Shakespeare became ever cheaper as the century progressed. Drawing on more than a hundred published and manuscript autobiographical texts, the book examines the experiences of a wide range of working-class readers. Particular attention is focused on a set of radical readers for whom Shakespeare's work had a special political resonance. Murphy explores the reasons why the playwright's working-class readership began to fall away from the turn of the century, noting the competition he faced from professional sports, the cinema, radio and television. The book concludes by asking whether it matters that, in our own time, Shakespeare no longer commands a general popular audience.

This collection provides students and researchers with a new and lively understanding of the role of institutions in the production, reception, and meaning of literature in the period 1700-1900. The period saw a fundamental transition from a patronage system to a marketplace in which institutions played an important mediating role between writers and readers, a shift with consequences that continue to resonate today. Often producers themselves, institutions processed and claimed authority over a variety of cultural domains that never simply tessellated into any unified system. The collection's primary concerns are British and imperial environments, with a comparative German case study, but it offers encouragement for its approaches to be taken up in a variety of other cultural contexts. From the Post Office to museums, from bricks and mortar to less tangible institutions like authorship and genre, this collection opens up a new field for literary studies.
