Summary:

"The Art of the Reprint is a vivid and engaging history of the nineteenth-century novel as it was re-imagined for everyday readers by extraordinary twentieth-century illustrators. With biographical, archival, and art- and literary-historical sources, this is a richly-illustrated account of how artists reinvent canons for the general reader"-- Provided by publisher.
