- Summary
- "With essays from some of the world's leading scholars of Dickens and nineteenth-century culture, this collection considers Dickens's works as a journalist and editor within the context of mid-Victorian periodical publishing. The collection is broadly divided into three areas of interest; close readings of articles; contextualised analysis of mid-Victorian journalism; and considerations of key contemporary issues including social change, literary culture, health and science, education, gender and sexuality, the urban experince, and imperialism."--Page 4 of cover.
