About This Item
Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, first edition, 1972. Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm,. xi, 247 pp. In the early nineteenth century, the publishing house of Taylor & Hessey brought out the work of Keats, Clare, Hazlitt, De Quincey Carlyle, Lamb, Coleridge and many more of the most important literary figures of the time, as well as the great literary journal of the period, The London Magazine. Tim Chilcott here examines the life and work of John Taylor, the firm's founder. The account, which incorporates a large amount of hitherto unpublished material, is a fascinating piece of literary, social and publishing history, showing clearly the relationship between the author and his publisher, and in turn between the publisher and the reading public. Mr Chilcott also explores the ways in which Taylor and Hessey, as publishers of new literature, dealt with the pressures created by these relationships during the central period 1816 to 1826. Elegant bookplate on front pastedown endpaper, Very Good in slightly marked dustwrapper.
