- W2018200723 abstract "The eminent Victorian publisher Charles Kegan Paul chose for his firm's trademark the symbol of two trees joined together by the inscription Arbor Scientiae, Arbor Vitae. As it [End Page 471] happens, this image of unified duality also fittingly illustrates Paul's own professional anxieties. As a serious publisher in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Paul sought to reconcile in his career the literary and commercial ambitions that Victorians assumed to be antithetical. He was a man of letters in his own right, and his circle of friends encompassed such literary lions as George Eliot, George Meredith, Algernon Charles Swinburne, and Thomas Hardy. As a man of business, however, Paul generally lacked the capital to attract the most acclaimed writers, and those who did work with him were often alienated by his attention to profits. In the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, who had published under the Kegan Paul imprint long before creating Jekyll and Hyde, Kegan is an excellent good fellow, but Paul is a [damned] publisher (qtd. 49; Howsam's brackets). The method behind Leslie Howsam's history of Paul is similarly dualistic. She attempts to trace Paul's influence on two levels, exploring both the publisher's imprint upon a list of books, and publishers' personalities, the imprint of their taste and judgement on the culture in which they lived (3). Paul's personal history thus provides Howsam's study with its tree of life, while its tree of knowledge grows out of the records of his firm. Combining biography and bibliography, Howsam hopes to contribute a nuanced and broadly significant portrait of this publisher to the history of Victorian culture." @default.
