Mullins, Sophie. "Latin books published in Paris, 1501-1540." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/6333.
Full textAbstract:
This is a study of the Parisian Latin book industry in the first four decades of the sixteenth century. It challenges the assumption that the Reformation brought about a profound change in the European print world. Luther's engagement with a mass audience is believed to have led to an increase in the number of vernacular publications produced by printers throughout Europe. This was not the case in Paris. Parisian booksellers traded on their established expertise with certain genres, such as theological texts, educational books, and works by classical authors, to maximise their readership both in Paris and farther afield. Working in close proximity inspired the Parisian bookmen to unity and collaboration rather than enmity and direct competition. When printers, booksellers and publishers collaborated they were able to undertake bigger and riskier projects. Such projects might have involved testing new markets or technologies (such as Greek or music printing), or simply producing a book which required a high capital investment. The familial unity extended to the widows of printers, some of whom were able to capitalise on this and build substantial businesses of their own. This high level of collaboration and the continued focus on the established Latin market give the Parisian book world its very specific character. It also helped Paris build an international reputation for high-quality books.

Bocchinfuso, Christopher Michael Standing. "Intabulations of Music by Josquin des Prez in Lute Books Published by Pierre Phalèse, 1547-1574." Thesis, University of Canterbury. Music, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/3445.
Full textAbstract:
In the sixteenth century the vocal music of Josquin des Prez (ca. 1450-1521) was frequently intabulated for the lute. This study focuses on the surviving such arrangements published in eight different sources by the Netherlandish printer, Pierre Phalèse (ca. 1510-1576), between 1547 and 1574. These comprise 15 lute intabulations of nine different works, including mass movements, motets, and chansons.
Volume I, Chapter 1 discusses lute arrangements of Josquin in the sixteenth century generally, Chapter 2 focuses on the output of the Phalèse firm in particular, and Chapter 3 analyses some specific characteristics of the Josquin intabulations found in the Phalèse prints. Volume II comprises transcriptions of all 15 Josquin works published by Phalèse, aligned with the vocal versions, original tablature, and accompanied by editorial commentary.
Topics covered include the distribution of sixteenth-century lute arrangements of Josquin's works and implications for his status and reputation; sources used; the market for and function of lute prints generally and of Phalèse in particular; the nature of and relationship between pirated and original tablatures in the Phalèse books and the identity of Phalèse's arrangers; the nature of variations between arrangements and vocal models, and between different arrangements of the same work; and the treatment of musica ficta. This thesis comprises of two volumes, incorporating 14 tables and 15 transcriptions.

Doctor of Philosophy<br>Department of Secondary Education<br>Jacqueline D. Spears<br>BeEtta L. Stoney<br>An ethnographic content analysis was conducted to explore the African American
cultural content contained in the text of picture books portraying African Americans published 2001 through 2005. The picture books were limited to beginning readers, stories in rhyme and poetry, historical fiction, fictional biography, and contemporary fiction portraying African
Americans and set in the U.S. The books were categorized based on the genre to which they
belong and classified as generic books or books with African American cultural content. The African American cultural content in the books in the study was compared to the cultural content
contained in picture books in a survey conducted by Rudine Sims Bishop in 1982. Differences between the work of African Americans and non African Americans are discussed. A data collection instrument was constructed and used by several additional raters to test the reliability
of the instrument. Each additional rater was given an operational definition for generic books and books with cultural content. The raters were each given one book to evaluate.
The research revealed (1) that more than half of the picture books published during the period of this study were classified as generic, (2) in most cases, only the books written by African Americans contained cultural content and (3) more than half of the picture books with cultural content are classified as historical fiction. (4) Although it is possible for a non African
American to write an authentic picture book with cultural content, such books are usually the result of in depth research. (5) During the period of this study, not all generic picture books were written by non African Americans; some African American authors choose to write generic books portraying African Americans with minimal content specific to African American culture.

Schepper, Susanna L. B. de. "'Foreign' books for English readers : published translations of navigation manuals and their audience in the English Renaissance, 1500-1640." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2012. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/51655/.
Full textAbstract:
Although there has been an increasing interest in the study of Renaissance translations and the early world of print, the history of navigation and exploration has not been the subject of any such in-depth bibliographical research. This thesis identifies and analyses a corpus of translated navigation manuals and related works that were printed in England between 1500 and 1640. The context is sketched by defining the different areas of maritime writing found in Renaissance England. Although English contributions were particularly strong in such topics as the mathematical side of navigation, the technical instruments and the debates about magnetism and compass variation, publications of manuals and sailing directions were scarce. This thesis reveals that such knowledge was imported from continental Europe through translation. Forty-three translations out of seven different source languages are discussed from a book-historical perspective to establish what their source text was, how they came to England and who was responsible for translating and publishing them. Such information was obtained, in part, from a study of the paratexts, in particular the translators’ and publishers’ dedications and addresses to the reader, which show the reason and purpose of the translations, the methods employed and particular problems encountered, as well certain linguistic and rhetorical characteristics. One work is selected as a case-study for in-depth research, namely Martin Cortés’s Breue compendio de la sphera y de la arte de nauegar (1551) and its translation by Richard Eden, The Arte of Navigation (1561), which went through ten editions and became the model for English navigation manuals. Finally, by turning to the agents involved in the production and dissemination of these translations, particularly the printers and booksellers, and establishing the connections between them, this thesis reveals intricate social networks and sheds new light on certain aspects of the fields of navigation, translation and print.

Creed, Wendy Elizabeth. "Dreaming in whispering groves : an inquiry into the reader's response to the book as a published physical object with reference to the rise of the eighteenth century novel, modern critical theory and the processes and technologies of production, transmission and reception." Thesis, University of Greenwich, 2002. http://gala.gre.ac.uk/8616/.
Full textAbstract:
Dreaming In Whispering Groves is an investigation into the production, transmission and reception of the book-as-object with specific reference to nine eighteenth century novels over four centuries: Robinson Crusoe; The Adventures Of The Count de Vinevil; Pamela; David Simple; Amelia; Betsy Thoughtless; Evelina; The Monk and The Italian. I examine the relationship between the reader, the book-as-text and the book-as-object, approaching my topic from the standpoint of a Reader Response and Rezeption-aesthetic critic. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, I draw upon Art, History, Literature, Philosophy, Social Science, Technology and Textual Scholarship, in order to create a context for, and trace the development of the social and physical derivation, distribution, adoption and cultivation of the physical object book. My centra-stance to reader-orientated theories is provided by Memetics. A relative newcomer to the critical scene which has evolved as a result of, and parallel to, the study of genetics. The purpose of this juxtaposition is that both Reader-orientated theories and Memetics are dependent upon the reading or interpretation of data - the words on the page or the material to be replicated (in the case of the meme). However, my perception is that both offer an explanation of the way in which 'culture' has evolved and will continue to evolve but perhaps most importantly for the purpose of this thesis they provide answers to questions with regard to the book-as-object. Original empirical research in the form of a web-based questionnaire and a traditional paper-based one, and class-based role-play forms the foundation of an investigation into readers' responses to the book as a physical object. The responses have provided substantial evidence to corroborate my original hypothesis (now thesis). The mode of presentation for this thesis (including the use of fonts based on samples of 18th and early 19th century type and printers ornaments that suggest the quirks of wood-cut and early metal type) is intended as an integral part of the way in which the argument is developed. The readers/examiner's response to this 'book/thesis-as-object' is being sought, and the reader is therefore asked to engage with the contents bearing this in mind.

Mulcahy, Brian J. "A study of the relationship between Ireland and England as portrayed in Irish post-primary school history text books, published since 1922, and dealing with the period 1800 to the present." Thesis, University of Hull, 1988. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.264563.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis is a study of the relationship between Ireland and England as portrayed in Irish post-primary history school textbooks, dealing with the period 1800 to the present day, and published or in use since 1922. The thesis identifies two distinct categories of texts and these are referred to as purist texts and moderate texts. The purist texts are characterised by their strong pro-Irish, and anti-English biases in their presentation of Irish history. The moderate texts, by contrast, are generally without such biases and present more neutral accounts of Irish history. The central thesis of the work is that the relationship between Ireland and England as portrayed in the purist texts is fundamentally different from the relationship portrayed in the moderate texts. Close examination of the texts revealed that the presentation of Irish history fell into three large divisions, military and revolutionary history, political history and social history. For this reason the thesis, apart from introductory and concluding chapters, is comprised of three large central chapters, dealing in turn with each of these three aspects of Irish history. Thus, Chapter II looks at the treatment of the military and revolutionary history in the texts. Chapter III deals with the political history of Ireland and Chapter IV treats of the social history of Ireland. Each of these three chapters elaborates on how the topics dealt with contribute to the overall portrayal of the relationship between Ireland and England, as presented in the texts. The thesis concludes that the relationship between Ireland and England portrayed by the purist texts is a negative and hostile one, while the relationship portrayed by the moderate texts is a positive one. Hence, a fundamental difference in the portrayal of the relationship between the purist and moderate texts is established.

Hawley, Elizabeth Haven. "American Publishers of Indecent Books, 1840-1890." Diss., Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/1853/7579.
Full textAbstract:
American publishers of indecent books from 1840 to 1890 were not outsiders to the printing trades. They should be seen instead as entrepreneurs whose technological practices and business strategies were largely representative of the diversity within American publishing. Books prohibited or later destroyed because of their content survived in a relatively wide variety of forms in the hands of rare book collectors,
making such artifacts perhaps even more important for the study of industrial practices than literary works collected in greater numbers by research institutions. Those rare artifacts make available long-lost details about the men and women who manufactured print at the boundaries of social propriety, the production technologies they employed, and the place of difficult-to-research publishers in the American book trades. Conservation, papermaking, illustrations, printing, and typefounding are as important to the history of American erotica as the more famous prosecutions led by Anthony Comstock.
Focusing on works considered indecent by the nineteenth-century bibliographer Henry Spencer Ashbee, this dissertation integrates the political economy of print with an analysis of the material forms of semi-erotic and obscene books. Surviving artifacts offer evidence about regional production styles and the ways that fiber selection, and particularly the use of straw in low-quality papers, influenced the prevalence of yellow wrappers for ephemeral works. Printer skill levels and capitalization can sometimes be determined through the presence of gripper marks on printed sheets. Reconstructing and contextualizing the technological practices of these publishers can create new tools for bibliographical analysis, an accessible source of information about technical processes for general historians, and a wealth of data about publishers such as William Berry, whose role in networks of erotica in nineteenth-century America has only recently begun to be appreciated.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a cultural history of the publishing businesses that financed Shakespeare's First Folio. The thesis argues that by 1623 each of the four businesses that formed the Folio syndicate had developed an influential reputation in the book trade, and that these reputations were crucial to the cultural positioning of the Folio on publication. Taking its lead from a dynamic new field of study that has been called 'cultural bibliography', the thesis investigates the histories and publishing strategies of the business owned by the stationers William and Isaac Jaggard, who are usually thought of as the leading members of the Folio project, as well as those owned by William Aspley, John Smethwick, and Edward Blount. Through detailed analysis of the publishing strategies of each stationer, the thesis puts forward new theories about how these men influenced the reception of the Folio by transferring onto it their brands, and the expectations of their readerships. The business of each Folio stationer was like a stage with an audience assembled around it, waiting for the next production to emerge. This thesis identifies the publishing activities that attracted the audiences of the Jaggards, Blount, Smethwick, and Aspley, and ultimately suggests the Folio was granted significant legitimacy through the collaboration of these men. After an introductory chapter that locates the thesis in its scholarly field, the first chapter tells the history of syndicated book publishing in England, and reviews what we know of the pre-production process of the First Folio, taking a particular interest in how the publishing syndicate formed. The following chapters then form a series of case studies of the four publishing businesses, reviewing the apprenticeships and careers of each stationer before suggesting how those careers created a context of meaning for the Folio. These case studies focus on the authoritative reference publishing of the Jaggards, the religious publishing of William Aspley, the geographical location of John Smethwick's publishing business beside the Inns of Court, and the cultural achievements of Edward Blount. In conclusion the thesis explores the idea that it was the unique partnership of these businesses that consecrated the Folio as an emblem of literary taste.

Full textAbstract:
This study primarily examines the cultural and commercial practices of editors and publishers who commission and acquire content in independent Australian publishing houses. My research spans a 30-year transitional period in book publishing from 1970 to 2000 - a period marked by rapid and unstable shifts in publishing culture, reflecting wider social, political, economic and technological change. In a global market economy, more than ever before, the acquisition of local content is critical in fostering original ideas and works by Australian authors. A series of semi-structured interviews with editors and publishers provides a direct source of personal experience and professional industry-based knowledge. These narratives address and engage with individual and collective values, beliefs, assumptions and attitudes which reflect particular personalities and publishing styles. They also contribute to an understanding of the editors' and publishers' commissioning role, where knowledge and content are taken up and developed and publishing decisions are made. An analysis of editors' and publishers' responses further explores the diversity of commissioning and acquisitions environments in which they live and work. Publishing houses are profiled and works of fiction and non-fiction are identified and discussed in an attempt to unpack how and why they were commissioned and developed for publication, and to what social and cultural effect. The dynamics of organisational structure and publishing culture are explored by analysing general and specific publishing models. Editors and publishers discuss how publishing companies operate and offer insights into, and perceptions of, organisational structure and publishing culture and, importantly, how both impact on commissioning practice. Issues of identity, representation and institutionalisation are identified as they relate to developments and trends within publishing and public culture, as a whole, and the ways in which they intersect. This nexus of culture and power is explored through the cultural production of Australian content, and in particular, in Chapters Five and Six, with the impact of second-wave feminism on Australian publishing culture and cross-currents in the production and publication of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander works.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on some of the most significant and least understood aspects of the life of London publisher Henry Colburn (c.1784-1855). Its purposes are to correct the misinformation currently in circulation, to introduce new information, and to reassess Colburn‘s reputation and accomplishments in light of this evidence. The thesis first examines the errors and limitations of previous appraisals of Colburn and how various primary sources can be used to correct and augment them. It next considers Colburn‘s early years before surveying his periodical publications and his controversial publicity methods. The thesis briefly recounts Colburn‘s involvement with the ‘silver-fork’ school of fiction and then examines in greater depth his relationships with writer Benjamin Disraeli and one-time business partner Richard Bentley. Colburn‘s two marriages are also studied as the focus of the thesis moves onto the latter half of his career, his retirement, and his death. The final chapter tenders some general conclusions based on the foregoing matter and suggests further avenues of study concerning Colburn, his role in the history of publishing, and his place in the traditional paradigms of Romantic and Victorian literary culture.

Full textAbstract:
In the last five years, Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) store has flourished, allowing entrepreneurs and authors to upload their works for sale to Amazon's worldwide audience. The self-published works that dominate the KDP store are fiction, but local histories and memoirs have also found their way to Amazon. Many of these books are non-traditional histories; they are amateur works on community and family stories, memoirs, and life writing. This new and egalitarian historical production has considerable implications for public historians, librarians, and archivists. How it will impact or change the creation of the historical record and influence the field of history remains to be seen. This research project and its accompanying dissertation will situate some of these histories in their greater historiographical field by conducting a close reading of each, and it will utilize microhistorical methodology and standpoint theory to analyze their significance. While there have been some initial quantitative analyses of self-publishing (Dilevko and Dali, 2006; Bradley et al, 2011), no studies have conducted close readings of these texts or explored their content and subject matter in an in-depth way. This study will ultimately argue that many of these self-published works have a place in the public sphere as useful pieces of intimate, personal, and sometimes firsthand knowledge of past events, and that they should be studied as important and new styles of historical production. As records of a uniquely 21st century outlook, they offer future generations insight into American experiences from ordinary people who were previously unable to publish their thoughts, stories, and ideas without considerable financial cost to themselves, and who have now taken advantage of new technological products and publication formats to share the histories they deemed important enough to write. Further, these new technologies and KDP have facilitated a kind of "People's" expression that has and will continue to change the History of the Book.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines transnational Scottish book marketing to a diasporic audience from 1995 to 2015. The study addresses the research question: what makes marketing of Scottish-interest books from Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the publishing industry successful transnationally? The data underlying the research comes from semi-structured interviews with members of publishing organisations in Scotland and members of Scottish heritage organisations worldwide, case studies of the marketing histories of economically successful books targeting the diaspora, and narrative rhetorical criticism of the online book blurbs of Scottish-interest books by Scottish publishers. The qualitative results demonstrate that the marketing of Scottish-interest books from SMEs in the publishing industry is successful transnationally when creative relationship marketing through storytelling is emphasised; icons, symbols and narratives from Scotland’s place brand are utilised; and communication of value is targeted to specific subcultures of consumption (like the Scottish diaspora) that transcend national boundaries. Adopting the definition of marketing as the communication of value of a product or service, the study analyses the influencers, characteristics, and participants of that communication. The research impacts those individuals and organisations, particularly Scottish publishing companies, who are involved in the twenty-first century Scottish book trade. The thesis recommends that to reach the diaspora audience, Scottish publishers need to make a more united effort under Publishing Scotland to approach and partner with Scottish heritage organisations; create working relationships with Global Scot (and Scottish Enterprise more generally), Scottish Development International, Visit Scotland, and Event Scotland; and become more involved in tourism events relating to the Scottish diaspora.

Previous issue date: 2014-08-25<br>The beginning of e-books sets a challenge to all professionals that work on the traditional editorial field (which means, the field base on printed books), whether they are author, literary agents, publishers, designers, printing companies, or readers. This situation becomes heavier in countries such as Brazil, in which the editorial field is less representative and advanced in comparison to other countries considered more developed. In a similar way to subjects that concern topics around ciberculture, the approaches over digital books especially the ones that are face up to the printed books are divided between apocalyptic and integrated (taking into consideration the famous invention of Umberto Eco); this can be translated into the ones that promote the end of the printed books (the codex, as we all know it) and the ones that hold its survival. Both groups have the same initial idea: the thing we call e-book is the natural successor of the printed books. These discussions do not take into account the aspects related to the contemporary society: the fact that we live in a time ruled by transience, by innovation and by diversity; to which capitalism has advanced to a stage in which social and economic relations are intervened by images (or, in the famous Guy Debord s formulation, the society of the spectacle ) in which the concept of reading has enlarged in a significant way, orientated by that we can call post-cinema , when a countless number of small screens have become an irrevocable part of our lives, feeding a culture of audiovisual fulfillment highly hypermidiatic (and, thus, centered in the use of multiple languages and signs) the fact that the book, especially the schoolbook, became more than a product, it became a network service, offered by entrepreneurs groups capable of offering an spectacular experience. In this thesis, the development of e-books is investigated under the vision of languages and education, in order to build an analysis based on the specificity of use and fulfillment of the hypermidiatic language (that demands the control of the verbal, sonorous and visual codes).<br>O advento do e-book coloca um desafio para todos os profissionais que atuam no campo editorial tradicional (ou seja, baseado em livros impressos), sejam autores, agentes literários, editores, livreiros, designers, gráficas ou leitores. Essa situação se agrava em países como o Brasil, onde o mercado editorial é menos representativo e avançado que em alguns países considerados desenvolvidos. De forma similar aos assuntos que envolvem temas da cibercultura, as abordagens sobre o livro digital em especial aquelas que o confrontam ao livro impresso dividem-se entre apocalípticos e integrados (nos apropriando da célebre formulação de Umberto Eco); ou seja, entre os que advogam o fim do livro impresso (em códice, como todos o conhecemos) e os que defendem sua sobrevivência. Ambos os grupos partem de uma mesma premissa: aquilo que denominamos de e-book é um sucessor natural do livro impresso. Essas discussões desconsideram aspectos relacionados à sociedade contemporânea: o fato de vivermos em uma época pautada pela transitoriedade, pela inovação e pela diversidade; do capitalismo ter avançado para um estágio em que as relações sociais e econômicas são mediadas por imagens (ou, na famosa formulação de Guy Debord, a Sociedade do Espetáculo ); de que o conceito de leitura ampliou-se de forma significativa, orientado por aquilo que podemos chamar de pós-cinema , quando um sem-número de pequenas telas tornaram-se parte irrevogável de nossas vidas, alimentando uma cultura de fruição audiovisual eminentemente hipermidiática (e, por isso, centrada no uso de múltiplas linguagens e signos); o fato do livro, especialmente o livro didático, tornar-se mais que um produto, se transformar em um serviço em rede, ofertado por grupos empresariais capazes de fornecer uma experiência espetacular de leitura. Nesta tese, investiga-se o desenvolvimento dos e-books sob a ótica das linguagens e da educação, buscando construir uma análise pautada nas especificidades de uso e fruição da linguagem hipermidiática (que exige o domínio dos códigos verbal, sonoro e visual).

Full textAbstract:
Elsa Fougt (1744–1826), a woman entrepreneur, was one of the leading figures in the late eighteenth-century Swedish book trade. Her main enterprise was the printing house Kongl. Tryckeriet (the Royal Printing House), which was responsible for printing and publishing the official documents of the Swedish realm. Besides her office as Royal Printer, she also ran a publishing house, two bookshops and a type foundry, as well as being the editor of the Swedish newspaper Stockholms Weckoblad. The dissertation analyzes Fougt's different enterprises and her position in the book trade between 1780 and 1810, from the perspectives of sociology of literature and gender history. It consists of five independent articles, preceded by an introductory chapter which summarizes the articles and discusses their main findings. The first two articles explore the office of the Royal Printer during the whole eighteenth century, while the third article concerns Elsa Fougt’s position as Royal Printer. The fourth article is a study of Fougt's publishing house, and the fifth and final article focuses on her international bookshop, where, among other things, she sold clandestine books imported from the STN in Switzerland. Fougt's successful career was made possible by a number of favourable circumstances, the most important being her family background and network. Her father Peter Momma held the office of Royal Printer, and Elsa Fougt and her husband Henric inherited his position when he died. When Henric passed away in 1782, Elsa – as a widow – was legally allowed to take up the office of Royal Printer independently. The fact that Elsa Fougt was a woman does not seem to have particularly affected her role as Royal Printer. In comparison with her predecessors, her position as Royal Printer appears to have been rather strong. She was a shrewd businesswoman who successfully negotiated with the authorities for higher financial compensation. Her office was obviously of greater importance than her gender. Being both a publisher, a printer, and a bookseller, Fougt handled most of the functions of the book trade, although she distinguished between these different functions. Furthermore, rather than just being an intermediary of books, she also took part in the creation of them, for example by initiating texts and editing manuscripts. In the book trade of her time, Fougt can be seen as both a traditionalist – holding the inherited office of Royal Printer – and an innovator, representing a more modern literary system with increased specialization.

Full textAbstract:
The market for book publishing has changed over the past years. Now the publishers has more pressure on them the to make a profit and every book must now be an economic investment. Meanwhile, more and more new publishers that start up their businesses and every year the competition gets tougher. This leeds to a higher demand on every individual book. The book cover is the face of the book and is supposed to entice the buyer while at the same time represent what's behind the cover. Them significance of the book cover is big and there are high demands that it should fill its function and at the same time help to sell the book.mSeven Swedish publishers has been interviewed for this research paper: Albert Bonniers Förlag, Berghs Förlag, Brombergs Bokförlag, En Bok För Alla (EBFA), Harlequin, Kabusa Böcker, and Opal bokförlag. They have been questioned about how their process in making their book covers in order to investigate if the processes differ from each other or if they are similar. Publishers today don't, for the most part, have a clearly structured process of how they proceed when important book covers are created and there is no time to conduct market analysis and target group analysis for each book. Publishers do, however, find their cover designers in a similar way and many of the publishers use a few regular designers who know the publishers' work process from previous experience. Although, the publishers' attitude toward the author's involvement is similar between publishers, with few exceptions, in the sense that the author himself or herself may determine their own level of involvement. The publishers adjust to what the author prefers. In general, Swedish authors have little authority in the final decision making stage, however they can give suggestions and participate in discussions. This thesis provides insight into how these publishers reason in regards to the bok cover design process and how decisions are made. What is clear is that publishers often rely on their experience, rather than an elaborate analysis of a particular book when a decision is made regarding the cover. However, this is probably due to time constraints which do not make it reasonable to perform a market analysis for each new title a publisher issues. Had there been a clearer working structure of the cover process, maybe more time could be spent on market response.<br>Då förlagsmarknaden har förändrats under de senaste åren och förlagen nu har mer press på sig att vara vinstdrivande, måste även varje utgiven bok vara en ekonomisk investering. Samtidigt startas flera nya förlag varje år och konkurrensen ökar enligt Christina Ahlinder. Detta kräver allt mer av varje enskild bok. Bokens omslag är dess fönster utåt som ska locka till köp och samtidigt representera inlagan. Omslagets betydelse är stort och höga krav ligger på att det ska fylla sin funktion som bokens säljande ansikte utåt. Sju förlag har intervjuats i detta arbete; Albert Bonniers Förlag, Berghs Förlag, Brombergs Bokförlag, En Bok För Alla (EBFA), Harlequin, Kabusa Böcker, samt Opal bokförlag. De har förfrågats om hur deras bokomslagsprocess går till för att kunna se hur olika förlag liknar och skiljer sig. Förlagen idag har i mångt och mycket ingen tydligt utarbetad process över hur de ska gå tillväga då dessa viktiga omslag skapas och tid finns inte att göra marknadsanalyser och målgruppsanalyser för varje bok. Förlagen hittar dock sina formgivare på liknande sätt och många av förlagen använder sig av ett fåtal återkommande formgivare som kan förlagens arbetsprocess. Även förlagens ställning till författarens involvering är liknande mellan förlagen, med ett fåtal undantag, i form av att författaren själv får bestämma sin nivå av involvering. Förlagen anpassar sig efter det. I regel har svenska författare dock ingen bestämmanderätt över hur omslaget blir i slutändan, utan kan endast komma med förslag och vara delaktig i diskussionerna. Arbetet ger en inblick i hur just dessa förlag resonerar kring processen och de beslut som tas. Något som framgår är att förläggaren många gånger förlitar sig på sin erfarenhet, snarare än utarbetade analyser för just den boken, när beslut om omslaget tas. Detta beror dock troligen på tidsbegränsningar vilket inte gör det rimligt att utföra dessa analyser för varje ny titel ett förlag ger ut. Hade det dock funnits en tydligare arbetsstruktur över hur omslagsarbetet ska gå till kanske mer tid hade funnits att stämma av marknaden.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that a major factor in Pentecostalism's rapid world-wide growth was the emergence of a strong literary, as distinct from oral, tradition. From its earliest days the movement gave birth to a plethora of publications and publishing houses, mostly operating by faith, that proved highly successful in disseminating the distinctive tenets of the movement across the globe. The first part of this work outlines the social, historical and religious background to the movement in the USA and Britain, and highlights the distinctive doctrines and practices of Pentecostalism. The second section examines the emergence of Pentecostal publishing movements and their products in the USA, especially the role played by the prototypical magazine of W. J. Seymour, The Apostolic Faith. The third and major part of this dissertation is a detailed case study of the earliest, and most influential, Pentecostal magazine published in Britain, Confidence. The crucial role that this journal and its editor, A. A. Boddy, played in formulating and propagating the beliefs and practices of the nascent movement is critically examined, together with an assessment of its contribution to wider issues of religious life and thought in Britain. Areas of subsequent influence in the development of historic Pentecostalism and its contemporary offshoots are also discussed

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks beyond the stereotypes of women as transmitters and caretakers of businesses by focussing on the careers of three women, one a widow who remarried, one a woman with no apparent family connection with the trade, and the third another widow who carried on the business for almost ten years after the death of her husband. Their careers are reconstructed from biographical data and the details of their publishing output. Emphasis is placed on the relationship of individuals to the sectarian communities for which they published, and on the ways in which sectarian material came to be published and distributed. The studies suggest ways in which women's inferior legal status could protect them in their 'seditious' activities, and reveal the inadequacies of attempts to control the press during the period 1645-75. Hannah Allen's output demonstrates her development over a brief period of a specialized trade in books representing the strand of Independent thought which grew into Fifth Monarchism, and her emergence from economic dependency on partnerships to become a publisher in her own right. Mary Westwood's career reveals a level of publishing outside the London book trade and concerned exclusively with a Quaker market largely in-the provinces. The career of Elizabeth Calvert is examined both before and after the death of her husband in order to investigate her role in a leading radical bookseiling business. -' Her later activities provide evidence of the shortcomings of the 1662 'Licensing, Act, and confrontations between a group of 'Confederate' women and the authorities suggest how women could avoid punishment despite their persistent publishing of nonconformist and opposition literature.

Full textAbstract:
The primacy of the print novel as the main mode for knowledge dissemination
and communication is being challenged today by the vast influx and pervasiveness of
digital media. Print literature, then, is at potential risk for obsolescence, as digital
technology creates new modes of narrative distribution. The novel, therefore, is in the
midst of a metamorphosis, having to adapt in order to properly situate itself within the
new media ecology.
Somewhat paradoxically, the same digital technology that challenges print
literature’s primacy is responsible for the novel’s adaption. The changing face of the page
creates new novels that reflect the digital in print, through changes in typography, layout,
and design. These changes illuminate the need for a material-specific methodology in
literary theory, and brings about the death of postmodernism in the new, digital
environment.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of the publications and publishing practices of Alexander Dalrymple (1737-1808). Dalrymple was cumulatively a private publisher of nautical charts and plans (from 1767), the ''examiner of ships' journals'' and chart publisher for the East India Company (from 1779), and Hydrographer to the Admiralty (from 1795). The core of the study is a catalogue of the known publications of Alexander Dalrymple, defining and establishing his oeuvre. The catalogue is in two parts, Catalogue A for the letterpress publications, numbering 257, and Catalogue B for the engraved charts, plans of ports, views of land, and other Illustrations, numbering 1116. The entries in each part of the catalogue are arranged chronologically by date of publication, with full bibliographical and technical descriptions, and notes of attribution, dating and inter-relationships. The introduction gives a short account of Dalrymple's life, focussing on his publishing activity, and introducing his geographical and political pamphlet publishing. Four phases of activity in his nautical publication are identified: the decision to publish charts and memoirs from his own voyages in the Eastern Archipelago (1769-1772); the private publication of charts and plans with grants or subscriptions from the East India Company (1772-1779); the annual series of charts, plans, views and memoirs issued from 1779 onwards for the East India Company; and the organisation and output of the Admiralty Hydrographic Office which he ran in parallel with his East India Company work after 1795. This is supplemented by a discussion of the continuing use made of Dalrymple's charts after his death in 1808. An investigation of Dalrymple's engraving and publishing practices follows, with a brief survey of his technical leaflets and manuals on nautical surveying and chronometer use, and an account of Oriental Repertory, his chief non-nautical publication. The study emphasises the close personal control Dalrymple exercised over his publications, and the consequent problems in the Admiralty and East India Company in developing arrangements to continue publishing charts after his death.
