This text examines how capitalism affected the culture of literature, publishing, book markets and readership in the turn-of-the-century Russia and the Kingdom of Poland. It draws parallels with and assesses literary developments in Russia and Poland in the late 20th century.

Synopsis:

In this ground-breaking book, Beth Holmgren examines how in turn-of-the-century Russia and its subject, the Kingdom of Poland capitalism affected the elitist culture of literature, publishing, book markets, and readership. Rewriting Capitalism considers how both serious writers and producers of consumer culture coped with the drastic power shift from serious literature to market-driven literature."
