"Michael J. Everton has provided a fascinating account, supported by deep historical and archival research, of the contentious dealings between authors and publishers that occur along the ragged line between art and commerce." --James L. W. West III, author of American Authors and the Literary Marketplace since 1900 "Members of the book trade receive bad press these days, creating the impression that the modern book trade is, ethically speaking, a little shaky. Those in the book business argue otherwise, defending their actions even while occasionally backpedaling. In his bold and far-reaching study, Michael Everton makes clear that such ethical debates about the book trade go all the way back to the eighteenth century. The Grand Chorus of Complaint is a book of great importance, insight, and originality." --Leon Jackson, author of The Business of Letters: Authorial Economies in Antebellum America "In this illuminating, impressively researched, and engagingly written book, Michael Everton examines the persistent rhetoric of complaint that antebellum American authors aimed at their publishers. Moving beyond the analysis of commercial practices, Everton imaginatively demonstrates that the business relationships between authors and publishers were fundamentally shaped by moral expectations." --Jeffrey D. Groves, coeditor of Perspectives on American Book History: Artifacts and Commentary "[An] excellent book...A thoroughly researched, well-written, and smartly argued work of mature scholarship...Literary, cultural, and intellectual historians as well as students of business practices and ethics could all profit from reading this book." --he New England Quarterly, "Michael J.
