Omschrijving
The sale of authors' papers to archives has become big news. Amy Hildreth Chen offers the history of how this multimillion dollar business developed from the mid-twentieth century onward and considers what impact authors, literary agents, curators, archivists, and others have had on this burgeoning economy.
“The author’s prose offers sheer grace and cleverness, shrugging off the burdens of the empirical/institutional nature of the project to produce a nascent work of valuable cultural criticism alongside its more purely informational dimension.”- Mark McGurl, author of The Program Era: Postwar Fiction and the Rise of Creative Writing
“Chen’s research is impressive, drawing from a multifarious range of documents, everything from journals on trends in library science to correspondence with literary market professionals to journalism on trends in publishing.”- Eric Bennett, author of Workshops of Empire: Stegner, Engle, and American Creative Writing during the Cold War
Amy Hildreth Chen is English and communications librarian at the University of Iowa.
