| Zusammenfassung: | This book captures the intensity of the relationship between writers and their typewriters from the 1880s, when the machine was first commercialized, to the 1980s, when word-processing superseded it. Drawing on examples from the United States, Britain, Europe, and Australia, The Typewriter Century focuses on "celebrity writers," including Henry James, Jack Kerouac, Agatha Christie, Georges Simenon, and Erle Stanley Gardner, who wrote prolifically and mechanically, developing routines in which typing, handwriting, and dictation were each allotted important functions. The typewriter de-personalized the text; the office typewriter bureaucratized it. At the same time, some authors found a new and disturbing distance between themselves and their compositions while others believed the typewriter facilitated spontaneous and automatic typing. The Typewriter Century provides a cultural history of the typewriter, outlining the ways in which it can be considered an agent of change as well as demonstrating how it influenced all writers, canonical and otherwise |

Drawing on examples from the United States, Britain, Europe, and Australia, The Typewriter Century focuses on "celebrity writers," including Henry James, Jack Kerouac, Agatha Christie, Georges Simenon, and Erle Stanley Gardner, who wrote prolifically and mechanically, developing routines in which typing, handwriting, and dictation were each allotted important functions. The typewriter de-personalized the text; the office typewriter bureaucratized it. At the same time, some authors found a new and disturbing distance between themselves and their compositions while others believed the typewriter facilitated spontaneous and automatic typing. The Typewriter Century provides a cultural history of the typewriter, outlining the ways in which it can be considered an agent of change as well as demonstrating how it influenced all writers, canonical and otherwise Geschichte 1880-1980 gnd rswk-swf LITERARY CRITICISM / Books & Reading bisacsh Typewriters History Typewriters Social aspects Typewriting History Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 gnd rswk-swf Literaturproduktion (DE-588)4167882-5 gnd rswk-swf Schreibmaschine (DE-588)4130975-3 gnd rswk-swf Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 s Literaturproduktion (DE-588)4167882-5 s Schreibmaschine (DE-588)4130975-3 s Geschichte 1880-1980 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-1-4875-0824-1 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-1-4875-2573-6 Studies in book and print culture 46 (DE-604)BV047586174 46 https://doi.org/10.3138/9781487537821 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
