Literature and commerce

The book is devoted to the problems of literary life and is a preliminary sum of facts that have not yet been compared and have not evaluated in evolutionary. Initially, the authors took the object of the study by the Smirdin era, i.e. The time when commodity relations were finally established in literary production and writers were sharply divided into two groups - professionals and amateurs. But as the description, Smirdin dispersed in the historical era and turned out to be only one of her links. In addition, the authors examine in detail the literary and journal activities of individual poorly studied writers.
The book will be of interest to specialists, as well as for readers interested in the history of literature and book business
