Empire of Publishers: Literary Book Trade Under the Traditional Market Agreement
British and American publishers dominated the postwar English-language book trade by setting up a publishing monopoly known as the Traditional Market Agreement (TMA). Dividing up the world markets between themselves, the publishers largely controlled the global circulation of English-language books and effectively minimised competition. This Leverhulme-funded project investigates the TMA's history and impact on postcolonial, and more broadly Commonwealth, literary publishing.
