The book trade historically tended to operate in a spirit of
co-operation as well as competition. Networks between printers,
publishers, booksellers and related trades existed at local,
regional, national and international levels and were a vital part
of the business of books for several centuries. This collection of
essays examines many aspects of the history of book-trade networks,
in response to the recent 'spatial turn' in history and other
disciplines. Contributors come from various backgrounds including
history, sociology, business studies and English literature. The
essays in Part One introduce the relevance to book-trade history of
network theory and techniques, while Part Two is a series of case
studies ranging chronologically from the Middle Ages to the
twentieth century. Topics include the movement of early medieval
manuscript books, the publication of Shakespeare, the distribution
of seventeenth-century political pamphlets in Utrecht and Exeter,
book-trade networks before 1750 in the English East Midlands, the
itinerant book trade in northern France in the late eighteenth
century, how an Australian newspaper helped to create the Scottish
public sphere, the networks of the Belgian publisher Murquardt, and
transatlantic radical book-trade networks in the early twentieth
century.
