Book Overview
Literary Industries (1890) offers a fascinating glimpse into the late 19th-century literary world, focusing on the life and work of historian Hubert Howe Bancroft and the creation of his monumental history of the American West. Bancroft details his ambitious project, the establishment of his unique research library, and the team of writers and researchers who contributed to his vast historical enterprise. The book provides insights into the challenges and triumphs of compiling historical narratives on a grand scale. Beyond Bancroft's personal narrative, "Literary Industries" offers valuable insights into the publishing industry of the time, the role of collaboration in historical writing, and the evolving landscape of American letters. It remains a key resource for understanding the development of historical scholarship and literary culture in the United States.
