Collaborators in Literary America, 1870-1920

More than just a gimmick, the collaborative novels of writers such as Mark Twain, Henry James and William Dean Howells, during the period 1870-1920, were a serious attempt to work through the anxieties authors faced in an ever more competitive and businesslike market.

  • "Collaborators in Literary America, 1870-1920 argues that the collaborative novels of the 19th and 20th centuries were singularly instrumental to the evolving nature of authorship and its relationship to the modern literary marketplace. More than just a gimmick, these novels (there were several hundred published at the turn of the century), were a serious attempt to work through the anxieties authors faced in an ever more competitive and businesslike market. Deeply contextualized within book history and labor practices, the issues surrounding collaborative production of such idiosyncratic writers as Henry James, Mark Twain, and William Dean Howells, demonstrate that in union there was strength."

  • "Much has been written about the important changes in understandings of authorship and literary labour in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "Collaborators in Literary America" argues that the collaborative novels of this period were instrumental to that reconstruction. More than just a gimmick, these novels (there were dozens published between "The Gilded Age" (1873) by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner and "The Sturdy Oak" (1917) by Mary Austin, Kathleen Norris, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Henry Kitchell Webster, et al), were a serious attempt to work through the anxieties authors faced in an ever more competitive and businesslike market. By examining the issues surrounding collaborative production of writers such as Henry James, Mark Twain and William Dean Howells, Susanna Ashton demonstrates that truly in union there was strength."@en
