During his forty-two years as president of AMS Press, Gabriel
Hornstein quietly sponsored and stimulated the revival of
“long” eighteenth-century studies. Whether by reanimating
long-running research publications; by creating scholarly journals;
or by converting daring ideas into lauded books, “Gabe”
initiated a golden age of Enlightenment scholarship. This
understated publishing magnate created a global audience for a
research specialty that many scholars dismissed as antiquarianism.
Paper, Ink, and Achievement finds in the career of this impresario
a vantage point on the modern study of the Enlightenment. An
introduction discusses Hornstein’s life and achievements,
revealing the breadth of his influence on our understanding of the
early days of modernity. Three sets of essays open perspectives on
the business of long-eighteenth-century studies: on the role of
publishers, printers, and bibliophiles in manufacturing cultural
legacies; on authors whose standing has been made or eclipsed by
the book culture; and on literary modes that have defined,
delimited, or directed Enlightenment studies. Published by Bucknell
University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University
Press.
