Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.

This historical study focuses on the complex relations between author, publisher and contemporary reading public in 19th-century USA. It describes the emergence of the first successful literary entrepreneurs, the role of the literary magazine and the beginnings of book promotion.
