Arguing that authorship in Canada during the nineteenth century was fundamentally transatlantic, Sarah shows that authors who resided in British North America, and later Canada, needed to navigate the system of trans-border publishing if they wished to see much in the way of financial compensation or wide readerships. While the material and legal conditions of trans-border publishing were a hindrance to many authors residing in Canada, some were able to negotiate these conditions to their advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on the career of May Agnes Fleming, a New Brunswick-born writer whose literary career was made possible through her pursuit of trans-border \u2014and eventually transatlantic \u2014publishing, Sarah explores how Fleming\u2019s accrual of mass-market, transatlantic readers and subsequent significant financial success was enabled by this period\u2019s international copyright agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-26483 size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/147\/original.10498-240x372.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26483\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">May Agnes Fleming.
