In his study of the journalist George Augustus Sala, Peter Blake
discusses the way Sala's personal style, along with his innovations
in form, influenced the New Journalism at the end of the nineteenth
century. Blake places Sala at the centre of nineteenth-century
newspapers and periodicals and examines his prolific contributions
to newspapers and periodicals in the context of contemporary
debates and issues surrounding his work. Sala's journalistic style,
Blake argues, was a product of the very different mediums in which
he worked, whether it was the visual arts, bohemian journalism,
novels, pornographic plays, or travel writing. Harkening back to a
time when journalism and fiction were closely connected, Blake's
book not only expands our understanding of one of the more
prominent and interesting journalists and personalities of the
nineteenth century, but also sheds light on prominent
nineteenth-century writers and artists such as Charles Dickens,
Mathew Arnold, William Powell Frith, Henry Vizetelly, and Mary
Elizabeth Braddon.
