Abstract

The chapter is (surprisingly) the first history of marketing and authorship in terms of the fiction publishing industry over the last 150 years. It asks to what extent authors have been needed for marketing, and if so what that might mean. The changing role of tastemakers and readers in the design of the product is also examined.
