Anotace knihy

Excerpt from Esther Waters: A Novel The proofs of the first edition of "Esther Waters" were sent to three leading American publishers. The book was declined by all three, and it was published without the American copyright having been secured. As soon as it became apparent that "Esther Waters" had obtained the approval and support of the public, the publishers who had refused it, came forward either with proposals to issue an authorized, but non-copyright edition in the States, or with proposals to publish my next book. This story is not told in order to show that publishers are not capable of distinguishing a book that is worth publishing when it is submitted to them, but with the object of calling attention to a vice inherent in the publishing trade. In the course of their complex business, publishers are led into the error of indulging in abstract speculations regarding the moral point of view of their customers. The three publishers in question were not in the least uncertain what they thought about "Esther Waters"; to them it was a most moral and edifying book; but they were not sure that "the general reader" would think well of a book containing a description of a lying-in hospital.
