Elizabethan Publishing and the Makings of Literary Culture explores the influence
of the book trade over English literary cultures in the decades following incorporation
of the Stationers' Company in 1557. Through an analysis of the often overlooked contributions
of bookmen like Thomas Hacket, Richard Smith, and Paul Linley, Kirk Melnikoff tracks
the crucial role that bookselling publishers played in transmitting literary texts
into print as well as energizing and shaping a new sphere of vernacular literary activity
; The volume provides an overview of the full range of practices that publishers performed,
including the acquisition of copy and titles, compiling, alteration to texts, reissuing,
and specialization. Four case studies together consider links between translation
and the travel narrative; bookselling and authorship; re-issuing and the Ovidian narrative
poem; and specialization and professional drama. Works considered include Shakespeare's
'Hamlet', Thévet's 'The new found world', Constable's 'Diana', and Marlowe's 'Dido,
Queen of Carthage'. This exciting new book provides both a complement and a counter
to recent studies that have turned back to authors and out to buyers and printing
houses as makers of vernacular literary culture in the second half of the sixteenth
century."--From the dust jacket
