Oh, gosh yes, you cannot imagine how mean and money grubbing this particular printer was. The apprentices were basically little better than slaves. The trade had reached a point, moreover, where even the journeymen were unlikely ever to become masters in their own right. You should read the whole essay. It's highly enjoyable, as is the rest of the book, if you like cultural history and semiotics.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-57800047195419052682010-06-09T02:06:58.085-07:002010-06-09T02:06:58.085-07:00Good morning, Ana.
"If you do not understand...Good morning, Ana.<br /><br />"If you do not understand this parable, how will you understand all parables?"<br /><br />I wonder to what extent the story here is about a writer's relationship with his printer (publisher)? By some accounts, printers were a mean, grasping, money-grubbing breed who exploited authors horribly ; rather as music publishers were mean with composers (it's said that Wagner's anti-Semitism sprang from his early experiences with publishers).<br /><br />Odd, too, to have chosen apprentices as his models for exacting revenge ; for were they not being trained to be just like their master?JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770347372942866924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-83409894917852447682010-06-08T17:36:16.820-07:002010-06-08T17:36:16.820-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fletch's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402507296202065300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-88781281001341669162010-06-08T17:35:20.628-07:002010-06-08T17:35:20.628-07:00I love this kind of thing.
