Description
Behind every great writer is a great editor-so goes the maxim that
writers abhor and publishers adore. The struggle between writer and
publisher is as long and fraught as the history of print itself. As
distinguished historian Anthony Grafton reveals in The Culture of Correction,
even during the Renaissance authors fumed and cursed over what became
of their work in the printing house as it was prepared for publication.
writers abhor and publishers adore. The struggle between writer and
publisher is as long and fraught as the history of print itself. As
distinguished historian Anthony Grafton reveals in The Culture of Correction,
even during the Renaissance authors fumed and cursed over what became
of their work in the printing house as it was prepared for publication.
In this engaging study, Grafton re-creates the practices of
professional correctors in the early printing workshops-the "poor
devils" of literature whose work extended far beyond the specific task
of proof correction-and the authors and printers alongside them. He pays
particular attention to surviving manuscripts and the printed books
that correctors used in order to explore what the traces they left
behind can tell us about authorship and the role of the publisher in
Renaissance Europe.
