Reviews

'here is a book which stands out both for the range of its research and the intelligence displayed in its depth of content. Press historians have been set a standard to emulate, and it is one they cannot ignore.' Social History Society Bulletin 'An ambitious impressively researched volume and a very good reference book for anyone working on nineteenth century journalism.' Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 'There is...much in this volume to savor both of an empirical and a theoretical nature.' Albion
