About this book
Linking the study of business and politics, Haynes reconstructs the passionate and protracted debate over the development of the book trade in nineteenth-century France. In tracing the contest over literary production in France, Haynes emphasizes the role of the Second Empire in enacting—but also in limiting—press freedom and literary property.
Reviews
In this impressively researched and clearly written book on the publishing industry in nineteenth-century France, Haynes argues for the surprising role of the Second Empire in liberalizing the literary market, the centrality of state policy rather than market forces in the deregulation of the industry, and the dynamic role of entrepreneurs in lobbying for reforms. Lost Illusions is an original and important study of the transformation of the literary marketplace from the First Empire to the Third Republic.
