Overview

Publishing houses are nearly invisible in modernist studies. Looking beyond little magazines and other periodicals, this collection highlights the importance of book publishers in the diffusion of modernism. It also participates in the transnational turn in modernist studies, demonstrating that book publishers created new markets for modernist texts in the United States, Europe and the rest of the world.

"this is an important collection packed full of empirical information that should allow the increasingly important role afforded to book publishers to continue developing-- ""The Review of English Studies"" Illuminating the economics and editorial development behind modernist texts, this important volume not only extends book studies research into the early 20th century but also identifies the reliance of authors like Joyce, Eliot, and Woolf on commercial publishing ventures.--J. Rodzvilla, Emerson College ""CHOICE"" Publishing Modernist Fiction and Poetry is essential reading for anyone interested in re-thinking the vital part book publishers played in Anglo-American modernism. In place of the canonical story about small presses, even littler magazines, and collectable editions, centred on the 1920s, it ranges over the half century up to the 1970s, showing how rapidly the major writers of the long modernist moment entered the mainstream, thanks to the enterprising publishers who saw their long-term potential particularly in the new era of mass higher education.-- ""Peter D. McDonald, author of Artefact of Writing"" Publishing Modernist Fiction and Poetry makes a valuable and timely argument: that the materiality, the haptics, and the economics of modernism cannot be ignored, and that publishing is a crucial lens through which to view these--Josh Phillips, University of Glasgow ""TMR [The Modernist Review]"" Publishing Modernist Fiction and Poetry makes a valuable and timely argument: that the materiality, the haptics, and the economics of modernism cannot be ignored, and that publishing is a crucial lens through which to view these-- ""TMR [The Modernist Review]"" Lise Jaillant's edited collection Publishing Modernist Poetry and Fiction is a significant contribution to the study of transatlantic literary culture during the interwar years.--Philipp L�ffler, Goethe-University ""The ALH Online Review"" The excellent essays collected in Publishing Modernist Fiction and Poetry are essential reading for modernist and Joycean scholars alike.--Tamara Radak, University of Vienna ""James Joyce Quarterly"""
