This wide-ranging and innovative collection of essays addresses
important issues in cultural studies and the history of the book.
Multidisciplinary in approach, the essays consider different
aspects of the production, circulation, and consumption of printed
texts throughout the nineteenth century. Topics studied include
market trends, modes of publication, the use of pseudonyms by women
writers, readerships and reading ideologies, and copyright law; and
the book examines a wide range of printed materials, from
valentines, advertisements, illustrations, and fashionable annuals,
to the more traditional literary genres of poetry, fiction and
periodical essays. The authors under discussion include Dickens,
the Brontes, George Eliot, Meredith, and Walter Pater. Contributors
draw on speech-act, reader-response, and gender theory in addition
to various historical, narratological, materialist, and
bibliographical perspectives.
