Shapers of Culture

Abstract: This article describes the functions that editors perform within publishing houses whose goals combine both economic and cultural components. It discusses the extent to which editors act as relatively passive gatekeepers of cultural forces or as active shapers of them. In light of historical evidence, it suggests that changes are currently taking place which will serve to reduce the importance of the editor in shaping the content of what is published while increasing somewhat the importance of the literary agent.
