This historical and critical study of Zola's FEconditE contributes much to an understanding of how the novel came to be written and of its achievements.

The Archiv fur Geschichte des Buchwesens contains academic articles and source editions, and covers all subjects connected with books and their history. On the long road from "author to reader," as Herbert G. Gopfert phrases it, lie a series of thematic stages such as those of the author (with his or her social background), book design, forms of production and marketing, collection in libraries and reader circles. The history of books does not stand for itself, but is a part of social development as a whole, of the political, intellectual and economic situation. It opens...
