The House of Blackwood: Author-Publisher Relations in the Victorian Era (Penn State Series in the History of the Book)
The House of Blackwood: Author-Publisher Relations in the Victorian Era (Penn State Series in the History of the Book) Summary:By David Finkelstein
The Scottish publishing house of William Blackwoood & Sons, founded in 1804, was a major force in 19th- and early 20th-century British literary history, publishing a diverse group of important authors - including George Eliot, John Galt, Thomas de Quincey, Margaret Oliphant, Anthony Trollope, Joseph Conrad, and John Buchan, among others - in book form and in its monthly "Blackwood's Magazine". In this title, David Finkelstein exposes the successes and failures of this onetime publishing powerhouse. He provides a general history of the firm, attending to family dynamics over several generations, their moulding of a particular political and national culture, the shaping of a Blackwood audience, and the multiple causes for the firm's decline in the decades before World War I. Includes bibliographical references (p. 185-189) and index.
