Paper, Ink, and Achievement
Gabriel Hornstein and the Revival of Eighteenth-Century Scholarship
Edited by Kevin L. Cope and Cedric D. Reverand II
Bucknell University Press
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.

A Scholarly Annual (Volume 24)
Edited by Jack Lynch and J. T. Scanlan

Volume 24 features commentary on a range of Johnsonian topics: his reaction to Milton, his relation to the Allen family, his notes in his edition of Shakespeare, his use of Oliver Goldsmith in his Dictionary, and his always fascinating Nachleben. The volume also includes articles on topics of strong interest to Johnson: penal reform, Charlotte Lennox's professional literary career, and the "conjectural history" of Homer in the eighteenth century.
