The Victorian Era saw a revolution in communication technology.
Millions of texts emerged from a complex network of writers,
editors, publishers and reviewers, to shape and be shaped by the
dynamics of a rapidly industrializing society. Many of these works
offer fundamental, often surprising insights into Victorian
society. Why, for example, did the innocuously titled Essays and
Reviews (1860) trigger public outrage? How did Eliza Lynn Linton,
almost forgotten today, become the first salaried woman journalist
in England? What is "table-talk"? Critical approaches to Victorian
prose have long focused on a few canonical writers. Recent
scholarship has recognized a wide diversity of practitioners, forms
and modes of dissemination. Presented in accessible A-Z format,
this literary companion reinstates nonfiction as a principal
vehicle of knowledge and debate in Victorian Britain.
