In The Company Of Books : Literature And Its "classes" In Nineteenth-century America

Attribution
Sarah Wadsworth
Publication Details
Book, University of Massachusetts Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents
Description
A vital feature of American culture in the nineteenth century was the growing awareness that the literary marketplace consisted not of a single, unified, relatively homogeneous reading public but rather of many disparate, overlapping reading communities differentiated by interests, class, and level of education as well as by gender and stage of life. “In the Company of Books” contends that specialized editorial and marketing tactics, in concert with the narrative strategies of authors and the reading practices of the book-buying public, transformed the literary landscape, leading to new roles for the book in American culture, the innovation of literary genres, and new relationships between books and readers.
