Closing ranks: The Publishers Association in Victorian Britain and its powerful place in institutional formation
Professional associations have been explored as institutional agents and can be powerful mechanisms for instigating practices into an industry.

Enter the middleman: Legitimisation of literary agents in the British Victorian publishing industry 1875–1900

It was founded in 1891 as the U.S. subsidiary of a much larger German pharmaceutical company, E. Merck of Darmstadt. The existing understanding of Merck & Co.’s history emphasizes how it was reacquired by the…
