For the given name, see Nelson (given name). For other uses, see Nelson (disambiguation). Nelson is an English, Scottish, Irish, and Scots-Irish surname. It is a patronymic name derived from Nell. The name is also listed as a baptismal name "the son of Eleanor". The name was popularised by Admiral Horatio Nelson as a given name. Nelson is also an anglicized version of the Scandinavian names Nilsen, Nielsen, and Nilsson. In the United States in 1990, it was ranked as the 39th-most common surname. The editors contribute a joint Preface “The Struggle for an Alberta Literature”, with an “Introduction: Wrestling Impossibilities: Wild Words in Alberta”, by novelist Aritha van Herk. The ten discrete academic papers, with end-notes and list of works cited, are from the October 2005 University of Calgary “Wild Words” conference on the occasion of the province’s centenary. Despite a fifty-year span of regional anthologies of Alberta literature and letters, this represents a preliminary study. “Acceptance of the concept of Alberta literature as a valid field of study remains an uphill struggle.” (p. x.) This fact is underscored by van Herk, who self-effacingly describes her own Mavericks: An Incorrigible History of Alberta (Toronto: Penguin Books, 2001), as “my idiosyncratic and unreliable history of Alberta.” (p. 2) She explores Robert Krotesch’s The Hornbooks of Rita K. (Edmonton: University of Alberta, 2001). Part One Poetry includes essays on “The ‘Wild Body’ of Alberta Poetry”, by Douglas Barbour; “To Canada: Michael Gowda’s Unique Contribution to The Literary History of Alberta”, by Jars Balan; and “Pastoral Elegy, Memorial, Writing: Robert Kroetsch’s ‘Stone Hammer Poem’”, by Christian Riegel. Part Two Drama includes essays on “No Cowpersons On This Range: The Cultural Complexity of Alberta Theatre”, by Anne Nothof and “Playing Alberta With Sharon Pollock”, by Sherrill Grace. Part Three Fiction contains “‘Now Woman Is Natural’: The (Re)Production of Race, Gender, and Sexuality Unlike in paper, where an author needs a distribution partner to cost-effectively reach a mass market of readers, in digital a lone author has exactly the same ability to distribute as any New York-based, billion-dollar multinational conglomerate. In that single, succinct paragraph, my buddy Barry Eisler makes it clear why publishers are becoming increasingly irrelevant for authors...and why guys like me are turning down book contracts, even on successful series, from big six publishers in favor of self-publishing and/or publishing through one of the Amazon imprints. That paragraph is an excerpt from Barry's terrific guest post at Writer Unbowed -- an essay that should be required reading for authors, editors, publishers, and aspiring writers. Here some more of his sharp observations about the digital landscape. In digital distribution, legacy publishers offer zero value. An author can distribute one-hundred-percent as effectively alone as she can with a legacy publisher. In other words, in digital distribution, an author has no use for New York. For more, see this guest post I did at J.A. Konrath's blog, A Newbie's Guide to Publishing (a blog you should absolutely be reading regularly). Note that I'm only talking about distribution and I'm only talking about digital. I didn't say that New York publishers have no value to offer in paper, in, editing, or in other areas. To me this is obvious, but I've learned to include this sort of disclaimer to make it marginally more difficult for dodgers, denialists, and dudgeon demons to avoid actual thought in favor of straw man arguments and other mischaracterizations of what I've actually said. Third, and flowing from the first two: in a digital world, the primary value a publisher can offer an author is direct-to-consumer marketing. This is why Amazon is so strongly positioned to succeed in digital publishing: its book business is built on its ability to reach tens or even hund Nelson (surname)
