The Enlightenment and the Book
Scottish Authors and Their Publishers in Eighteenth-Century Britain, Ireland, and America
Richard B. Sher
Explore the explosion of intellectual activity in Scotland during the late eighteenth century with this magisterial history of the Enlightenment and the forgotten role of publishing during that period. Author Richard B. Sher shows the deeply complex partnership between authors and publishers, one in which writers saw the book industry as pivotal in the dissemination of their ideas and crucial to their dreams of fame and monetary gain. Lavishly illustrated and elegantly conceived, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the book or the production and diffusion of Enlightenment thought.
