During his forty-two years as president of AMS Press, Gabriel Hornstein quietly sponsored and stimulated the revival of'long' eighteenth-century studies. Paper, Ink, and Achievement finds in the career of this impresario a vantage point on the modern study of the Enlightenment.
AMS Press president Gabriel Hornstein stimulated the revival of “long” eighteenth-century studies, sponsoring countless publications while creating a global audience for an obscure specialty. Paper, Ink, and Achievement celebrates Hornstein through three sets of essays evaluating the influence of publishers on cultural legacies; the effect of book enthusiasts on literary canons; and favorite long-eighteenth-century literary modes. Paper, Ink, and Achievement commemorates a publishing magnate whose temperate energy propelled his favorite discipline in multitudinous new directions.
