The Culture of the Publisher's Series, Volume 2: Nationalisms and the National Canon

This volume explores problems concerning the series, national development and the national canon in a range of countries and their international book-trade relationships. Studies focus on issues such as the fabrication of a national canon, and on the book in war-time, the evolution of Catholic literature, imperial traditions and colonial libraries.

"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
