PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
Presents 35 thematically organised, research-led essays on women, periodicals and print culture in Victorian Britain.
Description
The period covered in this volume witnessed the proliferation of print culture and the greater availability of periodicals for an increasingly diverse audience of women readers. This was also a significant period in women's history, in which the 'Woman Question' dominated public debate, and writers and commentators from a range of perspectives engaged with ideas and ideals about womanhood ranging from the 'Angel in the House' to the New Woman.
Essays in this collection gather together expertise from leading scholars as well as emerging new voices in order to produce sustained analysis of underexplored periodicals and authors and to reveal in new ways the dynamic and integral relationship between women's history and print culture in Victorian society.
Critic Reviews
A final, most welcome feature of this ambitiously monumental contribution to nineteenth-century women and print studies lays in the fact that it includes contributions from established and early career researchers from a variety of sub-fields of expertise, bringing together some of the best voices that current scholarship can offer, each of whom make this collection essential reading.--Federica Coluzzi, University College Cork "Victoriographies"
There is no doubt that this is a superbly exciting set of chapters from which every reader, but especially those interested in the period and its media, will draw inspiration and information.--Marysa Demoor, Ghent University "Victorian Periodicals Review, Volume 53, Number 1, Spring 2020"
This is a wide-ranging, insightful, engaging and, above all, lucidly written collection by a group of scholars at the top of their profession. It is, in short, outstanding. We shall be reading, consulting and learning from this volume for years to come.-- "Andrew King, University of Greenwich"
