The Art of the Reprint is a vivid and engaging history of the
nineteenth-century novel as it was re-imagined for everyday readers
by four extraordinary twentieth-century illustrators. It focuses
especially on four reprints: a 1929 edition of Thomas Hardy's The
Return of the Native (1878) with engravings by Clare Leighton, a
1930 edition of Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851) with images by
Rockwell Kent, a 1943 edition of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre
(1847) with woodblocks by Fritz Eichenberg, and a complete set of
Jane Austen's novels (1786-1817) illustrated from 1957 to 1974 by
Joan Hassall. Taken together, these reprints are indicative of a
legacy crafted from historical distance, through personal,
political, and artistic circumstance, and for a new century. With
biographical, archival, and art- and literary-historical sources as
well as close readings of images and texts, this is a richly
illustrated account of how artists reinvent canons for the general
reader.
