This study focuses on the close connections between literary value
and the materiality of popular print artefacts in Britain from
1890-1930. The book demonstrates that the materiality of print
objects paper quality, typography, spatial layout, use of
illustrations, etc. became uniquely visible and significant in
these years, as a result of a widely perceived crisis in literary
valuation. In a set of case studies, it analyses the relations
between literary value, meaning, and textual materiality in print
artefacts such as newspapers, magazines, and book genres artefacts
that gave form to both literary works and the journalistic content
(critical essays, book reviews, celebrity profiles, and
advertising) through which conflicting conceptions of literature
took shape. In the process, it corrects two available
misperceptions about reading in the period: that books were the
default mode of reading, and that experimental modernism was the
sole literary aesthetic that could usefully represent modern life.
