It sheds light on the material conditions of the circulation of texts across the Atlantic between 1944 and 1955, exploring the fine mechanisms of agents' negotiations which allowed texts, and ideas, to cross borders. While providing comparative insights into the history of publishing in France and in the United States in the immediate aftermath of the war, this book aims at foregrounding the role of the book agent, an all-too often neglected intermediary in the field of book history. Grounded in archival work conducted both in France and the United States, this study is based on previously unexamined correspondence. Considering the concept of mediation as central in the field of print culture, this book addresses the dearth of scholarship on literary agents on both sides of the Atlantic, and intersects with the current scholarship on transatlantic, international and transnational cultural and trade networks, as evidenced by the recently emerged field of sociology of translation in Europe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Mediators in the pre-war transatlantic market -- New beginnings : 1944-1946 -- New markets for the taking : 1946-1955 -- The complex game of negotiations : mixing business and taste -- Bridging the divide : money makes the books go around. 650 0 $a Literary agents $z France $x History $y 20th century. 600 10 $a Hoffman, Michel, $d 1906-1971. 650 0 $a American literature $x History $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a American literature $x Publishing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807230 650 7 $a Book industries and trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836171 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Ashgate studies in publishing history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710062610.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2A78C0AFAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
