Historians of the intellectual and literary culture of the
Enlightenment have recognised the importance of Andrew Millar
(1705-68). His publisher's imprint adorned the title-pages of the
most important works of the eighteenth century, in fiction, poetry,
drama, medicine, and philosophy. This is the first extended study
of Millar's commercial and social role in the commissioning,
production, circulation, and consumption of Enlightenment
literature in Britain. Providing a new intervention on the culture
of Enlightenment this study shows how and why Millar provoked major
controversies through his role as friend, patron, and publisher to
great rivals in the republic of letters. An unprecedent analysis of
publishing and authorship at the intersection of politics,
business, visual arts, moral debate, and literary self-fashioning,
this study of Andrew Millar also shows the degree to which Scottish
identity shaped a professional career within London's rise as the
cosmopolitan centre of learning and trade at the heart of the
British empire. This volume presents hundreds of previously
unpublished letters that passed between Millar and his literary
network, and includes the 52 letters that passed between Millar and
David Hume, the majority of which have been edited for the first
time since 1931. This is a major contribution to the material and
intellectual worlds that defined the culture of Enlightenment in
Britain during the eighteenth century, casting new light in the
history of publishing and authorship.
