Tim Groenland's The Art of Editing is an exciting new addition to the field of literary sociology, making a valuable contribution to a discipline which has seen a resurgence since the turn of the millennium. In his seminal early work in the field, John Sutherland traces the origins of this kind of publishing history to Robert Escarpit's Sociology of Literature (1958), which he describes as the beginning of “modern, serious work” in considering the effects of the literary marketplace on the fiction of a particular era. However, it is the first two decades of the twenty-first century that have seen the most significant growth in sociological studies of literary production, a trend that Alan Liu calls “the resurgent history of the book.” This is a “resurgence” that Liu argues has resulted in “restoring to view … vital nodes in the circuit” of literary production, including “editors, publishers, translators, booksellers,” and many others. This recent growth in scholarly interest in the production and circulation of literary texts includes other significant figures such as James F. English, Mark McGurl, John B. Thompson, Loren Glass, Paul Crosthwaite, and David D. Hall.

声望经济和编辑计划时代：文学社会学和蒂姆·格伦兰的编辑艺术

蒂姆·格伦兰编辑的艺术是文学社会学领域的一个令人兴奋的新成员，为自千年之交以来复苏的学科做出了宝贵的贡献。在他在该领域的开创性早期工作中，约翰·萨瑟兰将这种出版历史的起源追溯到罗伯特·埃斯卡皮特的文学社会学（1958 年），在考虑文学市场对特定时代小说的影响时，他将其描述为“现代、严肃的工作”的开始。然而，在 21 世纪的前二十年，文学生产的社会学研究取得了最显着的发展，刘艾伦将这一趋势称为“书史复兴”。刘认为，这是一种“复兴”，导致文学生产“重新审视……循环中的重要节点”，包括“编辑、出版商、翻译、书商”等等。最近对文学作品的制作和流通的学术兴趣的增长包括其他重要人物，例如 James F. English、Mark McGurl、John B. Thompson、Loren Glass、Paul Crosthwaite 和 David D. Hall。
