摘要註: |
An international trade emerged between 1870 and 1895 that incorporated the circulation of books among countries in Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. This book surveys the transactions of select British and colonial publishers and distributors who pioneered distribution routes and used communication and transportation advances to overcome book piracy and other impediments to trade. The international print economy in the late nineteenth century included a social network of agents who often cooperated, as well as competed, with each other to improve book distribution and access to overseas markets. Increasingly, agents like Edward Petherick who developed an international distribution agency, a Victorian Amazon.com, thought of the world as a linked network in which books were transnational commodities. One connection led to another as books were produced, distributed, and consumed, and the social network expanded as agents engaged with one another in order to facilitate the international circulation of books. |
