It provides a detailed account on the social, cultural, and economic factors that control literary activity, and determine literary success or failure. There are chapters on the place of women and working-class writers in a predominantly male, middle-class publishing industry; on literary clubs, societies, and feuds; on patronage, charity, and state support for writers; on literary journalists and the development of the bohemian character; on the facts that inspired the fictional world of Thackeray's Pendennis and Gissing's New Grub Street; and on the long-running debates on the status of writers and the state of literature. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary sources, The Common Writer adds substantially to our understanding of nineteenth-century literary history and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931520598304,"sku":"NEW0521357217","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-common-writer-life-in-nineteenth-century-grub-street-0521357217","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
