Who read American books 200 years ago? Who reads early American books today? And which early American books do modern readers choose? The answers appearing in this month’s Common-place might surprise you. Guest edited by Joanna Brooks of San Diego State University, Eric Slauter of the University of Chicago, and Bryan Waterman of New York University, this special issue on American literature explores the economics of writing and publishing and illuminates in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first centuries and introduces us to readers in locales ranging from eighteenth-century Native American towns to contemporary Australia. What can early American books teach us today? Point your browser to Common-place (http://www.common-place.org) and find out.
