| 505 | 8 | |a Breaking new ground in the study of British literary culture during an important, transitional period, this new work by Mary Ann Gillies focuses on the professional literary agent whose emergence in Britain around 1880 coincided with, and accelerated, the transformation of both publishing and authorship.Like other recent studies in book and print culture, The Professional Literary Agent in Britain, 1880-1920 starts from the central premise that the business of authorship is inextricably linked with the aesthetics of literary praxis. Rather than provide a broad overview of the period, however, Gillies focuses on a specific figure, the professional literary agent. She then traces the influence of two prominent agents - A. P. Watt (generally acknowledged as the first professional literary agent) and J. B. Pinker (the leading figure in the second wave of agents) - focusing on their respective relationships with two key clients. The case studies not only provide insight into the business dynamics of the literary world at this time, but also illustrate the shifting definition of literature itself during the period | |

| spelling | Gillies, Mary Ann Verfasser aut Professional Literary Agent in Britain Mary Ann Gillies Toronto University of Toronto Press [2016] © 2007 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Studies in Book and Print Culture Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher’s Web site, viewed Jan. 06, 2016) Breaking new ground in the study of British literary culture during an important, transitional period, this new work by Mary Ann Gillies focuses on the professional literary agent whose emergence in Britain around 1880 coincided with, and accelerated, the transformation of both publishing and authorship.Like other recent studies in book and print culture, The Professional Literary Agent in Britain, 1880-1920 starts from the central premise that the business of authorship is inextricably linked with the aesthetics of literary praxis. Rather than provide a broad overview of the period, however, Gillies focuses on a specific figure, the professional literary agent. She then traces the influence of two prominent agents - A. P. Watt (generally acknowledged as the first professional literary agent) and J. B. Pinker (the leading figure in the second wave of agents) - focusing on their respective relationships with two key clients. The case studies not only provide insight into the business dynamics of the literary world at this time, but also illustrate the shifting definition of literature itself during the period Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1880-1920 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Authors and publishers Great Britain History 19th century Authors and publishers Great Britain History 20th century Literary agents Great Britain Biography Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 gnd rswk-swf Literarischer Agent (DE-588)4290912-0 gnd rswk-swf Verleger (DE-588)4138343-6 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 s Literarischer Agent (DE-588)4290912-0 s Verleger (DE-588)4138343-6 s Geschichte 1880-1920 z 1\p DE-604 http://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.3138/9781442684997 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
