British literature underwent profound changes in the period 1900-1940. What role did audiences and channels of book distribution play in this? In this wide-ranging collection, the influence of publishers, distributors, librarians and readers come to the foreground to open up new perspectives on literature and print culture. Rooted in original archival research, chapters include studies of the engagement of canonical writers and bestsellers with the literary marketplace; the influence of international and mobile audiences; publishing practices involving genre, promotion, and censorship; and the significance of spaces of reading including bookshops, circulating libraries and on-board passenger ships. Through a series of detailed case-studies that focus on under-explored aspects of distribution and readership, the contributors open up new perspectives on literature and the British book trade.

The caricaturist George du Maurier (grandfather of Daphne du Maurier) is celebrated for his illustrations for ‘Punch’, offering incisive and hilarious commentaries on Victorian society. Du Maurier also wrote three successful novels, including the hugely popular ‘Trilby’, recounting the story of a poor artist's model transformed into a diva under the spell of Svengali, an evil musical genius. This plot would later inspire Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel ‘Phantom of the Opera’, as well as countless other tales of the gothic genre.
