Melville's problems selling Moby Dick were probably a precursor to high/low division. But you had quality books as bestsellers well into 1880s (Trollope, Tolstoy).

I specifically said the period 1890-1960 was a great anomaly -- the period when the most ambitious books were only rarely best-sellers. Things started to change in 1960s and continue now.

You should create book poptimism. It would be off brand but fun.
