Description
If the mainstream study of history and English has tended to utilize the press as a transparent source, there is a renewal of interest in the "medium" and hence, the definitions of the message. Examining the relation of print and culture in the 19th century, this book scrutinizes the cultural politics and production of specific Victorian magazines. A high degree of interdependence among literature, history and journalism is alleged, and ways in which space is designated male or female,and authorship constructed in various forms of biography (obituaries, dictionaries, volumes) is explored. Laurel Brake is co-editor of "Investigating Victorian Journalism", and editor of "The Year's Work in English Studies".
