EDITORI PER LA SCUOLA ELEMENTARE A MILANO NEL SECONDO OTTOCENTO. AUTORI, TESTI E MERCATO (1861-1900)

The work aims at describing the survey of schoolbooks publishing in Milan during the second half of the 19th century. The years which followed the Unification were rich in achievements both in school politics and, especially in Milan, in publishing technology and industry. That is why the work is opened by an outline of the evolution of publishing industry in the city, in a comparison with the national survey. This study is followed by a reconstruction of the main political measures on the topic of schoolbooks publishing, which influenced publishing industry. The texts of the laws also consist in an interesting source for describing the circulation of the books throughout the newly unified nation. In the second part, which is the main core of the work, three case studies are presented: publishers Antonio Vallardi, Enrico Trevisini and Risveglio Educativo editions are described by analyzing both the history of the firm and the main features of their publishing policies, pointing out similarities and differences. The third part takes account of two main topics relating to the experiences described. First, the tight relationship between children's literature and textbooks both in the schools and by publishers is highlighted. Finally, the last chapter focuses on and the authors' profiles and their working conditions.
