These festivals operate as tastemakers shaping cultural consumption; as educational and policy projects; as instantiations, representations, and celebrations of literary communities; and as cultural products in their own right. As such they strongly influence how literary culture is produced, circulates and is experienced by readers in the twenty-first century. This book explores how audiences engage with literary festivals, and analyses these festivals' relationship to local and digital literary communities, to the creative industries focus of contemporary cultural policy, and to the broader literary field. The relationship between literary festivals and these configuring forces is illustrated with in-depth case studies of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Port Eliot Festival, the Melbourne Writers Festival, the Emerging Writers' Festival, and the Clunes Booktown Festival. Building on interviews with audiences and staff, contextualised by a large-scale online survey of literary festival audiences from around the world, this book investigates these festivals' social, cultural, commercial, and political operation. In doing so, this book critically orients scholarly investigation of literary festivals with respect to the complex and contested terrain of contemporary book culture. 000939815 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed April 16, 2018). 000939815 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern$$xHistory and criticism$$xTheory, etc. 000939815 650_0 $$aDialogism (Literary analysis) 000939815 650_0 $$aLiterature and society. 000939815 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWeber, Millicent.$$tLiterary Festivals and Contemporary Book Culture.$$dCham : Palgrave Macmillan, 2018$$z3319715097$$z9783319715094$$w(OCoLC)1007308753 000939815 830_0 $$aNew directions in book history. 000939815 852__ $$bebk 000939815 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-71510-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000939815 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:939815$$pGLOBAL_SET 000939815 980__ $$aEBOOK 000939815 980__ $$aBIB 000939815 982__ $$aEbook 000939815 983__ $$aOnline 000939815 994__ $$a92$$bISE
