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 practises 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, Thevet'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 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aPublishers and publishing$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aPrinting$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterature publishing$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTransmission of texts$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aEngland$2gnd 607 $aEngland$2fast 607 $aAngleterre$xVie intellectuelle$y16e siecle 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y16th century 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aPublishers and publishing$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aPrinting$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature publishing$xHistory 615 0$aTransmission of texts$xHistory 676 $a070.5094209/031 700 $aMelnikoff$b Kirk , $01471085 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795035903321 996 $aElizabethan Publishing and the Makings of Literary Culture$93683222 997 $aUNINA
