Work in progress
- Mark Curran, Selling Enlightenment, single-authored monograph, currently in preparation for Continuum press, to be published late 2012. This book is his principal output from the ‘French Book Trade’ project. The product of four years of archival research, it radically revaluates the eighteenth-century European book trade in the light of the STNs sales figures, which are revealed for the first time (ISBN: 9781441178909).
- Simon Burrows, Enlightenment Best-Sellers, single authored monograph currently in preparation for Continuum for publication in 2013, and his principal output from the French book trade project. Building on Mark Curran's volume, this book offers a reconsideration of the print culture of the late enlightenment based on the sales figures of the STN. Like the first volume, it also discusses the ways in which digital humanities methods have been used in the French book trade project to reopen old questions, often with intriguing results.
