Book Description
The book trade historically tended to operate in a spirit of co-operation as well as competition. Networks between printers, publishers, booksellers and related trades existed at local, regional, national and international levels and were a vital part of the business of books for several centuries. This collection of essays examines many aspects of the history of book-trade networks, in response to the recent ‘spatial turn’ in history and other disciplines. Contributors come from various backgrounds including history, sociology, business studies and English literature. The essays in Part One introduce the relevance to book-trade history of network theory and techniques, while Part Two is a series of case studies ranging chronologically from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Topics include the movement of early medieval manuscript books, the publication of Shakespeare, the distribution of seventeenth-century political pamphlets in Utrecht and Exeter, book-trade networks before 1750 in the English East Midlands, the itinerant book trade in northern France in the late eighteenth century, how an Australian newspaper helped to create the Scottish public sphere, the networks of the Belgian publisher Murquardt, and transatlantic radical book-trade networks in the early twentieth century.

Book Description
This is a study of British literary reviews and their editors, among them the pioneering Edinburgh Review, the New Statesman, and the London Review of Books. This new edition includes an afterword that discusses the ferocious controversy precipitated by the London Review of Books when, in 2006, it published a gigantic polemic by the American political scientists John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt on the subject of America's 'Israel Lobby'. It also discusses the kinship between the London Review and its transatlantic counterpart, the New York Review of Books, focusing on how the latter became drawn into the controversy and how the two reviews have together played a key role in opening up the vexed question of the 'special relationship' between Israel and the U.S.

Working Class Cultures in Britain, 1890-1960
Author: Prof Joanna BourkePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134858582
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Integrating a variety of historical approaches and methods, Joanna Bourke looks at the construction of class within the intimate contexts of the body, the home, the marketplace, the locality and the nation to assess how the subjective identity of the 'working class' in Britain has been maintained through seventy years of radical social, cultural and economic change. She argues that class identity is essentially a social and cultural rather than an institutional or political phenomenon and therefore cannot be understood without constant reference to gender and ethnicity. Each self contained chapter consists of an essay of historical analysis, introducing students to the ways historians use evidence to understand change, as well as useful chronologies, statistics and tables, suggested topics for discussion, and selective further reading.
