It borrows from theories developed in the cognitive sciences and philosophy which extend cognition beyond the brain to view it as a cooperation between mind and environment. Examined from this perspective, the classic opposition between scribe as wilful editor and scribe as pure medium for transmission breaks down. The invective of literary sources against the scribe as corruptor of text sits awkwardly with papyrus evidence which shows scribes acting as trusted allies in composition. This binary way of thinking of the scribal contribution to the transmission of knowledge might be alleviated by thinking of scribal practice as a cognitively rich collaboration between material and mind and by attending to physical traces of this engagement. In particular, this paper suggests that patterns of re-inking the stylus may correspond to sense breaks if the scribe is particularly conscious of or invested in a manuscript's content. If such is true, an examination of re-inking patterns may offer papyrologists a new technique to track scribal engagement in the content they produce.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"21 1","pages":"1 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/BH.2018.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43944504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cosmopolitan network is particularly significant as it helps expose the tensions of the transnational trade and the reshuffling of geographical categories operated by an evolving business model. The essay discusses Maxwell’s Australian booksellers and publishers during an understudied period that precedes the consolidation of the national publishing empires and their “transnational” operations. Braddon’s work, when sold in Australia, entered a cultural field made of the existing histories of a network of book dealers that were engaged in the important cultural work of imagining the future nation through the political implications of their trade, and through the shaping of a marked literary taste that in turn supported their business. The framework of histoire croisée, which has developed generally at the national level, is applied to a much broader conceptualization of space that does not coincide with national or colonial boundaries, but with the boundaries of specific business models that built their own contingent geographies.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"21 1","pages":"150 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/BH.2018.0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48527951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knopf, Inc. is one of the most prestigious and influential publishing houses in the United States—and it was founded and has been largely staffed by Jews. These Knopf, Inc. staff members were regularly faced with the question of what kind of books about Jews should be published by a nonsectarian house like theirs, with famously high artistic and commercial standards. Thus the extensive Knopf, Inc. editorial records constitute an extraordinary archive reflecting the shaping of the “horizon of the publishable,” in this case in terms of representations of Jews in America. Knopf, Inc. editors envisioned a specifically Jewish market for books, which they saw as one they could and should address. They understood that Jewish market not through data but through personal experience, and consequently published European Jewish literature in translation while remaining skeptical of works treating Jewish life in America. References to Alfred Knopf’s Jewishness also served as a defense for authors accused of anti-Semitism, including H. L. Mencken and Raymond Chandler. As a whole, the case of Knopf, Inc. begins to answer the question of how and why it matters that throughout the twentieth century, Jews became increasingly prominent in the field of American publishing.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"21 1","pages":"343 - 369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/BH.2018.0011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48825662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead, he circulated hundreds of copies of a dozen different hand-made editions whose assemblage was radically fluid: they utilized multiple bindings, drew together multiple media, experimented with alternative orderings of the poems, and shifted through multiple imprints and revisions within each copy of each edition. This fluidity continued without any aim of final consolidation until Cavafy’s death. Only thirty years later, in the early 1960s, did the philologist George Savidis publish what we now call the complete edition, yet it stands as a false witness to the nature of Cavafy’s own editions. Through a combination of close reading, analytical bibliography, and historical contextualization, the present paper argues that Cavafy’s books functioned not as closed objects but open-ended assemblages, suspending consolidation and extending composition indefinitely. This suspension and extension occurred even as the books circulated. This last point is crucial, for in this way Cavafy’s assemblages subtly invited other agents, such as printers, binders, and readers, to join the process of creation and revision. Their agencies have remained unexplored by Cavafy scholarship, where the figure of the author looms large.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"21 1","pages":"278 - 316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/BH.2018.0009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46872491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
