A History of the Book in America: Volume 3: The Industrial Book, 1840-1880Scott E. Casper, Jeffrey D. Groves, Stephen W. Nissenbaum, Michael P. Winship, David D. Hall Univ of North Carolina Press, 15 thg 9, 2009 - 560 trang Volume 3 of A History of the Book in America narrates the emergence of a national book trade in the nineteenth century, as changes in manufacturing, distribution, and publishing conditioned, and were conditioned by, the evolving practices of authors and readers. Chapters trace the ascent of the "industrial book--a manufactured product arising from the gradual adoption of new printing, binding, and illustration technologies and encompassing the profusion of nineteenth-century printed materials--which relied on nationwide networks of financing, transportation, and communication. In tandem with increasing educational opportunities and rising literacy rates, the industrial book encouraged new sites of reading; gave voice to diverse communities of interest through periodicals, broadsides, pamphlets, and other printed forms; and played a vital role in the development of American culture.

Trang 286 - Nothing can supply the place of books. They are cheering or soothing companions in solitude, illness, affliction. The wealth of both continents would not compensate for the good they impart. Let every man, if possible, gather some good books under his roof, and obtain access for himself and family to some social library. Almost any luxury should be sacrificed to this.
Trang 90 - Oh that I was rich enough to live without a profession! What do you think of my becoming an author, and relying for support upon my pen? Indeed, I think the illegibility of my handwriting is very author-like. How proud you would feel to see my works praised by the reviewers, as equal to the proudest productions of the scribbling sons of John Bull.
Trang 106 - No," and shut the door. People must learn that authors have some rights,- I can't entertain a dozen a day, and write the tales they demand also. I'm but a human worm, and when walked on must turn in self-defence. Reporters sit on the wall and take notes,- artists sketch me as I pick pears in the garden,- and strange women interview Johnny as he plays in the orchard.

Trang 330 - ... neath the mouldering ivy-mantled tower ; where vesper chimes and the echoes of the merry bugle-ugle-ugle horn were borne upon the zephyr across the yellow corn ; where Isabella sang to the harp (with her hair down) and the tinkling guitar of the serenader under her balcony made response ; a world in which there were fairy isles, enchanted grottoes, peris, gondolas, and gazelles.
