| Summary: | 'Literature's Social Lives' situates itself within an emerging field of a sociologically attuned literary criticism, which combines ethnographic interest in the aesthetics of literary experience with a curiosity about how literature gains cultural relevance and institutional authority. In this groundbreaking study, Günter Leypoldt argues that ever-rising turnover of books between 1800 and 2000 expanded the commercial literary marketplace, yet by inverse subsidy simultaneously stabilized literature's market-sheltered support systems. |
