Under the proposed settlement agreement, Macmillan will immediately lift restrictions it has imposed on discounting and other promotions by e-book retailers and will be prohibited until December 2014 from entering into new agreements with similar restrictions. The proposed settlement agreement also will impose a strong antitrust compliance program on Macmillan, including requirements that it provide advance notification to the department of any e-book ventures it plans to undertake jointly with other publishers and regularly report to the department on any communications it has with other publishers. Also for five years, Macmillan will be forbidden from agreeing to any kind of most favored nation (MFN) provision that could undermine the effectiveness of the settlement.

I must thank Kenneth Roemer for his undying optimism and patience. Even after seeing my pale face in the stairwell of Carlisle Hall on the day I found out I was about to be the father of twins, he never lost faith in me. I will be forever thankful for his guidance. Tim Morris has always been optimistic and giving of his time throughout my entire graduate school experience. His courses have always forced me to ask questions about the role of literature and history, which in many ways is the basis of this project. And I also want to thank Desiree Henderson for her invaluable feedback on my drafts and for her encouragement during the writing process. Her input on my revisions, along with my research experiences in her cultural studies-based literature courses, are also major factors in the development of this project. Also, a very special thanks to Penny Ingram, Amy Tigner, and Kathryn Warren for their guidance and recommendations for the fellowship and scholarship that helped me greatly along the way. I offer special thanks to Laurie Porter and the late Emory D.

  • The Politics of the Contemporary Alternate History Novel

    The Politics of the Contemporary Alternate History Novel

    What Almost Was 63 What Almost Was: The Politics of the Contemporary Alternate History Novel Matthew Schneider-Mayerson Between August of 1995 and July of 1996, Speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives Newt Gingrich published two books. One, To Renew America, a folksy Republican polemic cobbled together from Gingrich’s speeches, served as a sequel to Contract with America, the blueprint of the conservative movement that assumed control of Congress in 1995.1 The other was 1945, coauthored with William R. Forstchen, a novel set in an alternate universe.2 In 1945’s divergent timeline, Germany does not declare war on the United States, the Soviet Union is split into fragments, and the United States and Germany have settled into a cold war. Nazi soldiers parachute into the United States to a capture a nuclear facility in Tennessee, but posses of arms-bearing American veterans successfully defend their country. 1945 was representative of the flourishing genre of alternate history novels in all but two ways: an author’s celebrity and its media exposure. Due to Gingrich’s status as the public leader of the conservative renaissance of the mid-1990s, 1945 was widely reviewed in mainstream publications. Treated as a curiosity and ridiculed for its poor literary quality, very few reviewers noted the libertarian themes in 1945, and even fewer placed it in the context of an inchoate literary genre.3 1995 can be considered the birth year of the alternate history novel as a genre. As a conceptual category, the counterfactual, as historians term their what-if narratives, has been pursued in print since classical Greece, if not earlier.
