Reviews

I]nstructive and salutary in the way it takes us . . . beyond our usual preoccupations with individual authors and their text-writing and invites us to consider aspects of the publishing context . . . . [I]nformative, memorable, and in many aspects enlightening.
*MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW*

It is genuinely refreshing to encounter a study that redirects the attention of German Studies to the central importance of material culture. . . . The essays are of uniformly high quality and offer a wealth of information. . . . German Studies should pay more attention to the issues Tatlock's volume raises. Buy the book. It is money well spent.
*GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW*

A wonderful addition to a field straddling both literary and historical scholarship. . . . Provides a rich, multi-faceted view of the publishing world as well as the authors' and readers' worlds in the long nineteenth century.
*WOMEN IN GERMAN REVIEWS*

Taken together, the essays in this fascinating book remind us that behind Germany's sense of Bildungsauftrag . . . lies an impressive publishing history.
