This collection provides students and researchers with a new and
lively understanding of the role of institutions in the production,
reception, and meaning of literature in the period 1700-1900. The
period saw a fundamental transition from a patronage system to a
marketplace in which institutions played an important mediating
role between writers and readers, a shift with consequences that
continue to resonate today. Often producers themselves,
institutions processed and claimed authority over a variety of
cultural domains that never simply tessellated into any unified
system. The collection's primary concerns are British and imperial
environments, with a comparative German case study, but it offers
encouragement for its approaches to be taken up in a variety of
other cultural contexts. From the Post Office to museums, from
bricks and mortar to less tangible institutions like authorship and
genre, this collection opens up a new field for literary studies.
