Prefacee par Roger Chartier Au XVIIIe siecle, les libraires jouissent d'un monopole inegale sur le monde du livre a Paris, laissant peu de place aux auteurs qui souhaitent profiter seuls du fruit de leur travail. Toutefois, le vent tourne en 1777: les auteurs acquierent enfin le droit d'editer et de vendre leurs propres ouvrages sans l'intermediaire d'un libraire. Bien que les risques associes a l'edition autonome longtemps sous-estimee par l'historiographie aient ete reels, cette pratique fait partie du cheminement de quelques centaines d'auteurs avant la Revolution. Apres avoir explore les differents discours traitant de l'emergence de l'auteur moderne, maitre de son ouvrage, Marie-Claude Felton demontre comment des ecrivains de tous horizons, du plumitif au philosophe, choisissent de garder une mainmise sur les droits et les retombees de leurs uvres. Elle revele aussi que les auteurs-editeurs, sensibles a la qualite materielle des livres imprimes a leurs frais, en assurent la diffusion tant par le recours a la publicite que par l'organisation des ventes a domicile. Grace a une analyse minutieuse et originale, Marie-Claude Felton apporte une contribution importante a l'histoire du livre et jette un regard neuf sur la place insoupconnee qu'occupent les auteurs sur le marche litteraire d'Ancien Regime.

Review:
`L'ouvrage de Marie-Claude Felton est une etude minutieuse et solidement documentee d'un phenomene toujours peu connu touchant l'edition et le marche du livre en France au XVIIIe siecle [...] Il parait particulierement actuel pour notre ere du numerique ou tout un chacun peut devenir auteur grace aux maisons d'edition dites "alternatives".' Studi francesi `Marie-Claude Felton s'attaque a un veritable serpent de mer, une question souvent evoquee mais rarement etudiee a fond par les historiens du livre, celle de l'edition "a compte d'auteur' [...] Son etude apporte sur cet episode particulier de l'histoire de l'edition francaise un eclairage neuf et suggestif.' Bulletin du bibliophile `Felton's study is tremendously informative, and her case for the significance of self-publishing in the last decades of the Old Regime in an inarguably strong and important one.' Journal of Modern History Reviews'This is a thorough and carefully-constructed book, and it makes significant contributions to our understanding of publishing practices and the myriad issues relating to changing conceptions of literary property. It will probably remain the definitive treatment of self-publishing and of the population of self-publishing authors in late eighteenth-century Paris for a long time.' H-France Review
