From telephones and transoceanic telegraphy to typewriters and
phonographs, the era of Bell and Edison brought an array of
wondrous new technologies for recording and communication. At the
same time, print was becoming a mass medium, as works from
newspapers to novels exploited new markets and innovations in
publishing to address expanded readerships. Amid the accelerated
movements of inventions and language, questions about media change
became a transatlantic topic, connecting writers from Whitman to
Kipling, Mark Twain to Bram Stoker and Marie Corelli. Media
multiplicity seemed either to unite societies or bring division and
conflict, to emphasize the material nature of communication or its
transcendent side, to highlight distinctions between media or to
let them be ignored. Literature, Print Culture, and Media
Technologies, 1880-1900 analyzes this ferment as an urgent subject
as authors sought to understand the places of printed writing in
the late nineteenth century's emerging media cultures.
