Comparative Perspectives on Profitable Authorship – CfP
During this seminar, we aim to bring together scholars from medieval, early modern and modern literary studies, focussing on profitable authorship. Up until recently, international scholars in the fields of literature, book history and economic criticism seemed to agree about a linear and teleological narrative of the development of profitable authorship in early modern Europe. In this narrative, the predominance of patronage until the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries was replaced by professionalism once authors were able to profit from the emerging book market during the later seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It was assumed that from that moment onwards, an author originated who was in his or her creativity and autonomy the predecessor of the modern author.
