The Culture of the Publisher's Series, Volume 1: Authors, Publishers and the Shaping of Taste

This volume focuses on the publisher's series as a cultural formation -- a material artefact and component of cultural hierarchies. Contributors engage with archival research, cultural theory, literary and bibliometric analysis (among a range of other approaches) to contextualize the publisher's series in terms of its cultural and economic work.

"The contributors to these ground-breaking volumes engage energetically with archival research, cultural theory, literary, paratextual and bibliometric analysis, and often with each other. Through this wide range of approaches they demonstrate the crucial importance of a publishing pheonomenon which has until very recently been largely ignored. These volumes will undoubtedly make an important contribution to the fields of literary studies and book history, and open up new avenues of exploration for students and scholars alike." -- Mary Hammond, Senior Lecturer in English, University of Southampton, UK
