The Correspondence of Robert Dodsley 1733-1764 brings to light much
previously unpublished detail for the study of eighteenth-century
British literary and publishing history. It is a fully annotated
edition of letters exchanged between Robert Dodsley - London's
leading literary publisher of the mid eighteenth century - and his
authors, members of the book trade, and friends. Numbering about
four hundred pieces, the correspondence reflects the publisher's
relations with such people as Edmund Burke, the 4th Earl of
Chesterfield, David Garrick, Thomas Gray, David Hume, Samuel
Johnson, Laurence Sterne, and Horace Walpole. A lengthy
introduction provides an account of Dodsley's publishing career,
including his negotiations with authors and other publishers, and
offers many insights into the technical and financial operation of
the contemporary book trade.
