Publishers' agencies: Helicon, Ulisse and the New York branch of Einaudi -- 6. Translations rights matter: wartime cultural diplomacy and the Italian book trade -- Conclusion. Towards a European history of the translation rights trade.  aThe 19th-century copyright revolution gave authors and translators powerful tools over the use of their works. It encouraged publishers to form networks that connected them to writers, translators, authors’ societies, and literary agents worldwide. This book argues that the development of international frameworks for the protection of literary property represented a watershed in the transnational circulation of texts in translation. Through the lens of the post-Unification Italian translation market of British and US authors (1900-1947), it combines a copyright historical approach to book history with a systematic survey of British and Italian archives. It positions the Italian publishing industry within the broader European and transatlantic copyright market to explore the cultural, social, and political value of translation rights, offering a new interpretative key to the transnational nature of the modern book trade. Anna Lanfranchi is Teaching Fellow in Translation and Transcultural Studies and Italian at the University of Warwick, UK. Her research focuses on transnational book and publishing history from the 19th century to the present day. 0aLiterature, Modernx20th century. 0aEconomics and literature.966350 0aPrinting.966351 0aPublishers and publishing.966352 0aBooksxHistory.966353 0aTranslating and interpreting.97042814aTwentieth-Century Literature.24aLiterature Business.96635524aPrinting and Publishing.96635624aHistory of the Book.96635724aLanguage Translation.9704302 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303164911008iPrinted edition:z978303164913408iPrinted edition:z9783031649141 0aNew Directions in Book History,x2634-612596635940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-64912-7  aZDB-2-LCM  aZDB-2-SXL  c63683d63683
