For the Victorian reading public, periodicals played a far greater
role than books in shaping their understanding of new discoveries
and theories in science, technology and medicine. Such
understandings were formed not merely by serious scientific
articles, but also by glancing asides in political reports,
fictional representations, or humorous attacks in comic magazines.
Ranging across diverse forms of periodicals, from top-selling
religious and juvenile magazines through to popular fiction-based
periodicals, and from the campaigning 'new journalism' of the late
century to the comic satire of Punch, this book explores the ways
in which scientific ideas and developments were presented to a
variety of Victorian audiences. In addition, it offers three case
studies of the representation of particular areas of science: 'baby
science', scientific biography, and electricity. This intriguing
collaborative volume sheds light on issues relating to history and
history of science, literature, book history, and cultural and
media studies.
