Bøker av Catherine Waters

In 1850, Charles Dickens founded "Household Words", a weekly intended to instruct and entertain a middle-class readership. This book demonstrates the role that "Household Words" in particular, and the Victorian press more generally, played in responding to the developing world of commodities and their consumption at mid-century.

This book analyses the significance of the special correspondent as a new journalistic role in Victorian print culture, within the context of developments in the periodical press, throughout the second half of the nineteenth century.
