摘要

摘要:瓦萨学院的《海伦·莱特亲笔签名集》证明了一个现代主义市场的存在,这个市场通过一种二级文学劳动体系来维持个人作者签名的资本化。在这个市场的不同性别领域,赖特与知名的藏书家竞争,同时保留了一种“感性的所有权”(洛里·梅里什饰),这使她与她那个时代的藏书家商人区别开来。这一努力包括将伊迪丝·沃顿(Edith Wharton)等名人商品化,她明显缺席了这个系列,说明有意义的文学作品的概念否定了赖特的劳动。最终,这篇文章试图推进一个更广泛的讨论,即学者如何能够公正地理解文学生产,因为文学生产整体上涉及了历史上被低估的劳动形式。

Unmaidenly Labor: Literary Labor in the Modernist Market, Helen Wright's Collection of Autographed Books, and Edith Wharton
Abstract: The Helen Wright Collection of Autographed Books at Vassar College testifies to a modernist market that was sustained in its capitalization of individual author signatures by a system of secondary literary labors. Straddling differently gendered spheres of this market, Wright competed with established book collectors while retaining a sense of "sentimental ownership" (Lori Merish) that set her apart from the bibliophile businessmen of her era. This endeavor involved commodifying celebrities such as Edith Wharton, whose conspicuous absence from the collection speaks to a conception of meaningful literary work that negates Wright's labor. Ultimately, the essay seeks to advance a broader discussion of how scholars can do justice to an understanding of literary production as integrally involving forms of labor that have historically been undervalued.
