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.
