Selling Books in Eighteenth-Century Boston: The Daybook of Benjamin Guild
Abstract Through an analysis of the daybook of late-eighteenth-century Boston bookseller Benjamin Guild, this essay presents a microhistory of retail bookselling in Boston just after the Revolutionary War. It argues that American customers mainly bought British books and that prices varied, with implications for book history, literature, and cultural studies.
期刊介绍:
Contributions cover a range of time periods, from before European colonization to the present, and any subject germane to New England’s history—for example, the region’s diverse literary and cultural heritage, its political philosophies, race relations, labor struggles, religious contro- versies, and the organization of family life. The journal also treats the migration of New England ideas, people, and institutions to other parts of the United States and the world. In addition to major essays, features include memoranda and edited documents, reconsiderations of traditional texts and interpretations, essay reviews, and book reviews.
