  • Product Description

    Tierney unearths a previously unpublished collection of letters exchanged between Robert Dodsley, London's leading literary publisher of the mid-eighteenth century, and his authors, members of the book trade, and friends. In this fully annotated, book-length edition of correspondence the publisher's relationships with such names as Edmund Burke, Samuel Johnson, Laurence Sterne, and Horace Walpole are revealed. A lengthy introduction provides an account of Dodsley's publishing career, including his negotiations with authors and other publishers, and offers insights into the technical and financial operation of the contemporary book trade. Five useful appendices supply Dodsley's will, abstracts of his publishing agreements with authors, the provenance of the letters, and other important details.
