A Necrology of Knowledge, Culture and Folly -- Epilogue -- Appendix I -- Appendix II -- Bibliography -- Index of Names.This study analyses the development of the Dutch publishers and booksellers firm Blussé in connection with the history of the Blussé family between 1745 and 1830. The book offers new insight in the organization of the book trade, the theory and practice of copyright, competition and cooperation among publishers, book prices and print runs, including advertising and marketing. The history of the company is linked with that of the family, using letters and other autobiographical writings. Education, marriage policies, reading practices are among the subjects studied. Within the context of cultural developments, the influence of the Enlightenment, and the political upheavals in the period in the Netherlands, this book is both a detailed book history and a broadly based study of cultural change in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.Library of the Written Word32.Publishers and publishingNetherlandsBiographyBook industries and tradeNetherlandsHistory18th centuryBook industries and tradeNetherlandsHistory19th centuryBooks and readingNetherlandsHistory18th centuryBooks and readingNetherlandsHistory19th centuryPublishers and publishingBook industries and tradeHistoryBook industries and tradeHistoryBooks and readingHistoryBooks and readingHistory338.761070509492Baggerman Arianne1087031NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910790617903321Publishing policies and family strategies3717708UNINA
