Explores the link between revolutionary change in the Victorian
world of print and women's entry into the field of mass-market
publishing This book highlights the integral relationship between
the rise of the popular woman writer and the expansion and
diversification of newspaper, book and periodical print media
during a period of revolutionary change, 1832-1860. It includes
discussion of canonical women writers such as Felicia Hemans,
Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot, as well as lesser-known figures
such as Eliza Cook and Frances Brown. It also examines the ways
women readers actively responded to a robust popular print culture
by creating scrapbooks and engaging in forms of celebrity worship.
Easley analyses the ways Victorian women's participation in popular
print culture anticipates our own engagement with new media in the
twenty-first century.
