Frederick Nesta

George Gissing, Grub Street, ​and The Transformation of British Publishing

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Professor Nesta's new work examines that "commerce": the production, distribution, and economics of literature, and, perhaps most importantly from a human standpoint, the financial rewards of literature to the people who produced it. His study will be of value to book historians, literary scholars, and historians of publishing.
