Widely acknowledged as one of the great English novels, Middlemarch was published at a time which saw the emergence of a commodity-based culture. Frost examines the history of Middlemarch's composition and publication within the context of Victorian demand, then goes on to consider the interpretation, reception and consumption of the book. Reader experience and rival publications are explored alongside a 'commodity reading' of the novel. The study will be of value to scholars of book history, economics and material culture. 410 0$aLiterary texts and the popular marketplace ;$vno. 1. 606 $aEconomics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature publishing$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAuthors and readers$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aEconomics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature publishing$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors and readers$xHistory 676 $a823.809355 700 $aFrost$b Simon R.$01599310 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824509203321 996 $aThe business of the novel$93921928 997 $aUNINA
