This book explores how authors profited from their writings in the
late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, contending that the
most tangible benefits were social, rather than financial or
aesthetic. It examines authors' interactions with publishers; the
challenges of literary sociability; the vexed construction of
enduring careers; the factors that prevented most aspiring writers
(particularly the less privileged) from accruing significant
rewards; the rhetorical professionalisation of periodicals; and the
manners in which emerging paradigms and technologies catalysed a
belated transformation in how literary writing was consumed and
perceived.
