Description

During his forty-two years as president of AMS Press, Gabriel Hornstein quietly sponsored and stimulated the revival of 'long' eighteenth-century studies. Whether by reanimating long-running research publications; by creating scholarly journals; or by converting daring ideas into lauded books, 'Gabe' initiated a golden age of Enlightenment scholarship. This understated publishing magnate created a global audience for a research specialty that many scholars dismissed as antiquarianism. Paper, Ink, and Achievement finds in the career of this impresario a vantage point on the modern study of the Enlightenment. An introduction discusses Hornstein's life and achievements, revealing the breadth of his influence on our understanding of the early days of modernity. Three sets of essays open perspectives on the business of long-eighteenth-century studies: on the role of publishers, printers, and bibliophiles in manufacturing cultural legacies; on authors whose standing has been made or eclipsed by the book culture; and on literary modes that have defined, delimited, or directed Enlightenment studies. Review "Kudos to Bucknell University Press for publishing this book, which has many of the characteristics of a traditional festschrift despite not being in honor of a still-living academic. Rather this is a tribute by academics to a non- academic publisher who was as important to the pursuit of 18th-century studies as any other single person. It appears in an era when too many collections are simply rewritten conference papers of dubious quality and only an alleged thematic unity. It is refreshing to read...Everyone will find something of interest here."-- "Eighteenth-Century Intelligencer""[T]he collection is well balanced, with a good mix of subjects and methodologies. Paper, Ink, and Achievement is marked by the kind of interdisciplinary scholarship that has always characterized most of the best work in eighteenth-century studies."--Martine Brownley "author of Reconsidering Biography: Contexts, Controversies, and Sir John Hawkins's Life of Johnson""As its title indicates, Pen, Ink, and Achievement: Gabriel Hornstein and the Revival of Eighteenth-Century Scholarship, is a festschrift honoring the late head and owner of AMS Press, a stalwart house that devoted much of its energies to promoting scholarship of the long eighteenth century. This collection of innovative and largely stylistically lucid essays written by some of the most eminent scholars in the field will be of keen interest to most eighteenth-century scholars and of particular importance to those specializing in print studies and publishing, neglected authors, and reevaluations of important writers such as Pope, Swift, and Blake."--Anthony Lee "author of Community and Solitude: New Essays on Johnson's Circle" About the Author Kevin L. Cope is Adams Professor of English Literature and a member of the comparative literature faculty at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Cedric D. Reverand II is George Duke Humphrey Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Wyoming in Laramie.
