This article relies on the John Murray Archive to make the case that Murray’s Handbooks were polyvocal, multidisciplinary texts. The myth this article scrutinizes, in other words, is not that of Murray as Founding Father of the guidebook, or the preeminence of his series over other tourist products or names within the shifting Victorian travel landscape, but rather that of Murray as a single entity, as “author” at all. The story of the Handbooks’ assembly engages with conversations about literary networks, collaborative authorship, publishing practice, and, ultimately, genre.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"26 1","pages":"139 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49473385","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 essay traces the origins of the genre-fiction system in United States magazine and book publishing, bringing sociological and book-historical analysis to bear on changing practices of categorization in publishing, advertising, librarianship, and reader response from the 1890s through the 1950s. Genre categories were only intermittently in use through the 1910s; they were first institutionalized in pulp magazines in the 1920s and 1930s. The genre-fiction system was transmitted to book publishing only in the course of the so-called \"paperback revolution\" of the 1940s and 1950s, which made room for fiction-book production by categories while relegating it to a permanently low-status position. This transmission across publishing formats was far from deliberate; instead, the essay argues, the system of genre fiction arose and endured as a stable compromise articulating an expanded fiction-reading public to an expansive print culture industry, making new readers and new fiction---and new kinds of fiction---regularly available to each other in an enduringly hierarchized field.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"26 1","pages":"203 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46560667","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}

It takes as a case-study the Parisian songbook known as 1535 after its year of publication. Based on thorough bibliographical analysis, this article contends that the only preserved copy of this popular songbook is a sixth edition. Most importantly, a careful examination of the book’s genesis reveals a pattern that indicates an important strategy applied by the printer to attract buyers: at every re-print, the songbook was enriched with the texts of recent hit songs that had just come off the presses of Pierre Attaingnant, royal printer of music. Taking this as a central starting point, the article explores the various ways in which musical traditions can be connected to popular print culture.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"26 1","pages":"1 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49248170","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}

Employing a widely dispersed material source base, this article focuses on Chinese gazettes: daily publications that recorded official communications and state activities at the provincial and imperial levels during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Gazettes, rarely studied under the auspices of book history and existing on the periphery of xylographic book publishing, offer important revelations about the geography, economics, and procedures of print and scribal publishing in late imperial China. Their producers employed a diverse range of rarely recognized techniques including movable typography, wax stereotype printing, slat printing, and other adaptations. Like other non-book ephemera, publishing practices for gazettes were determined locally in vernacular contexts, and not dictated by the imperial state. Attention to ephemeral texts brings less recognized print techniques to the fore, challenging assumptions previously formed from the perspectives of book collecting and bibliographical studies. As digitization and cataloguing efforts reveal non-book texts preserved in private, library, and archival collections, continued attention to the material record is needed.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"26 1","pages":"164 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46480432","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}

D. E. N. Southworth in London penny weeklies owned by George Stiff from the mid-1850s through the mid-1860s, including his best-known periodical, the London Journal. While Stiff’s earliest circulation of Southworth’s fiction was not authorized, they soon reached an understanding, and Southworth moved to England, living there from 1859 to 1862 so that her works could be protected by both British and U.S. copyright. In Stiff’s penny weeklies, many of Southworth’s works, including her most famous novel, The Hidden Hand (1859), were revised to suit the taste of British audiences, including relocating plots set in the United States to Britain. While these adaptations have been characterized as piracies, they were not—although Southworth herself did not produce the adaptations, her cooperation made them possible. Stiff and Southworth’s collaboration illustrates how tricky it was to arrange transatlantic serialization of novels in the fast-paced world of cheap weekly periodicals. To trace the rise and fall of Southworth and Stiff’s collaboration, the essay draws on Southworth’s letters to Robert Bonner (who serialized her novels in the New York Ledger), advertisements and notices in both the US and British press, the chancery file of the British copyright lawsuit Southworth v. Taylor, and the texts of Southworth’s fiction as circulated on both sides of the Atlantic in several forms.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"26 1","pages":"113 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42539062","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}

It examines first, the frequency of book title listings; second, gender patterns and trends; and third, the prevalence of local and/or regionally-specific publications in the colonial libraries under investigation. By comparing the fiction holdings of sample libraries both against each other and against sources of information relating to wider trends in the circulation and consumption of nineteenth-century fiction, the study demonstrates, first, that early colonial libraries in the southern hemisphere evince a bias towards male-authored titles in their fiction holdings; and second, that these libraries pursued holdings of available publications written by local authors and/or containing regionally-specific content. The study thereby complicates tidy conclusions about the derivate or belated nature of early colonial libraries, as well as nuancing simple diffusionist models of book circulation.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"26 1","pages":"112 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45562935","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}

Fuller, the first literary agent of the African American popular novelist Frank Yerby, was a typical yet very well-connected editor in the juvenile sector from the late 1930s. She was also a leading member of the Children's Book Council (CBC) in the mid-1940s and was just one of dozens of white women charged with shaping the direction of \"juvenile literature\" as this business consolidated over the middle decades of the twentieth century. At midcentury, the CBC's vacillations between embracing and resisting the reform of racial and ethnic depictions dovetailed with much-older, black and interracial attempts to reform children's books. The CBC's rejection of the censorship of children's books that were deemed racially prejudiced, and of collectivist efforts more generally, illuminate the limits of postwar racial reform.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"25 1","pages":"443 - 478"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42192730","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}

Delaney's Interventions in Media Infrastructures\" investigates how librarian and bibliotherapist Sadie Peterson Delaney's circulation of offprinted journal articles enclosed in personal correspondence intervened in mid-twentieth-century infrastructures of knowledge. Halfway between the private letter and the published journal article, enclosed offprints turn up everywhere in Delaney's archive. Focusing on the material transmission of the discourse of bibliotherapy in the letters Delaney (1889–1958) sent across the United States from the Tuskegee Veterans Administration Medical Center, this article looks to the bibliographic object of the offprint in order to reconstruct the print mechanisms and maneuvers for sharing information that Delaney deployed to establish bibliotherapy as a viable discursive object. Bibliotherapy stood in for the set of wide-ranging book-centered activities Delaney developed for the veterans in her charge at Tuskegee, and in turn confirmed her position as a crucial but stressed figure in the rise of therapy culture in the United States. Through her use of the offprint, Delaney, a Black woman and leading thinker in her field, was able to meaningfully engage in the media infrastructures of her time from a geographic, institutional, and subject position peripheral to contemporary sites of intellectual production and distribution.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"25 1","pages":"405 - 424"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43844767","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}
