Bound for the 1890s:
Essays on Writing and Publishing in Honor of James G. Nelson Edited by Jonathan Allison With a foreword by G. Thomas Tanselle This volume of new essays by some of today’s most important scholars of the British 1890s is inspired by the groundbreaking work in publishing history of James G. Nelson. Based on original research using primary sources and full of insights and discoveries, these reinterpretations focus on Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, W. B. Yeats, John Lane, and other figures who shaped fin-de-siècle literature, book illustration, and aesthetic publishing. Included also are detailed bibliographical analyses of publications by Richard Le Gallienne and William Watson and a previously unpublished account of the Yellow Book and its editor, Henry Harland. |
