'The volume has a useful thematic bibliography allowing for further investigation of many of the topics covered here ... This volume is recommended for those interested in the ways that authors interact with other parts of the book trade, including publishers and booksellers, and is very important for readers wanting to learn about the various meanings of authorship across time and place.' Catherine Armstrong, Publishing History 'Literary authorship entails much more than composing texts that form aesthetic wholes. A host of other elements factor into the process, and for those interested in the dynamics of the phenomenon, there is no better source to consult than this handbook, which provides a comprehensive survey of the burgeoning field of intellectual inquiry and looks at the cultural peregrinations of a species erroneously thought by many to be extinct - the author.'
