Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical calamities suffered by authors as a professional class, exploring the moral and literary impacts of such suffering. Beginning with the Renaissance era, the author traces the development of authorship as a profession, focusing on the emergence of authors reliant on either patrons or publishers for income. The book analyzes the consequences of this reliance, revealing the struggles authors faced with unappreciative or exploitative patrons and the challenges of navigating a precarious and often poorly compensated literary landscape. The author explores how such struggles impacted the authors' creative output and argues that this precarious existence shaped the very nature of their work and ultimately transformed the history of literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
