The Library of America (LOA) is a nonprofit publisher of classic American literature.
Overview and history
Founded in 1979 with seed money from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Ford Foundation, the LOA has published over 200 volumes by a wide range of authors from Mark Twain to Philip Roth, Nathaniel Hawthorne to Saul Bellow, including the selected writings of several U.S. presidents.[1]
The Bibliothèque de la Pléiade ("La Pléiade") series published in France provided the model for the LOA, which was long a dream of the critic Edmund Wilson.[2]
The initial publishers included American academic Daniel Aaron,[3] Lawrence Hughes, Helen Honig Meyer, and Roger W. Straus, Jr.. The initial board of advisers included Robert Penn Warren, C. Vann Woodward, R. W. B. Lewis, Robert Coles, Irving Howe, and Eudora Welty. Officers included Richard Poirier, Jason Epstein, Daniel Aaron, and Cheryl Hurley.[2] As of 2009, Hurley remains president of the Library of America.[4][5]
The first volumes were published in 1982, ten years after Wilson's death.[2] Besides the works of many individual writers, the series includes anthologies like Reporting World War II and (in a different format to the above illustration) Writing Los Angeles.
The publisher aims to keep classics in print permanently to preserve America's literary heritage. Although the LOA sells more than a quarter-million volumes annually, the publisher depends on individual contributions to help meet the costs of preparing, marketing and manufacturing its books.
The current Publisher of the Library of America series is Max Rudin, and Geoffrey O'Brien is Editor-in-Chief.
Research and scholarship
LOA volumes are prepared and edited by recognized scholars on the subject. Determined efforts are made to correct errors and omissions in previous editions and create a definitive version of the material. Notes on the text are normally included and the source texts properly identified.
For instance, the LOA text of Richard Wright's Native Son restored a number of passages that had been previously cut. The LOA commissioned a new translation of Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America by Arthur Goldhammer for their edition of the text.
Each volume also includes a chronology of the author's career or significant incidents in the case of the anthology volumes.
Build and manufacture
The books are designed to last generations. Each volume in the series contains (acid-free), thin, but durable paper (allowing books with a large number of pages to remain fairly compact). The paper meets the requirements for permanence set by the American National Standards Institute. The paper will not turn yellow or become brittle. The books are bound with the grain of the paper to ensure that they open easily and lie flat without crinkling or buckling.
The binding cloth is durable woven rayon. The books are Smyth-sewn for permanence and flexibility, and each includes a ribbon marker. Each volume has an identical trim size, based on the "golden section," which the ancient Greeks considered to be the ideal proportion. Each volume contains 700 to 1600 pages.
The typeface used for each volume is Galliard, chosen for its readability and ease on the eyes.
Subscription service
The Library of America provides a subscription service. Subscribers choose an introductory set from a predetermined selection: either American literature (novels, short stories or poetry) or American history (letters, memoirs, biographies, histories). Subscribers determine how often they want to receive a new volume, anywhere from every three weeks to every six months. Subscription editions come without the distinctive black ribbon dust jackets. Instead, subscription edition volumes come in a cardboard slipcover and contain a paper insert summarizing the volume.
