'A wide-ranging collection of some of the best critics in English on Britain's preeminent political novelist. I particularly appreciate the international dimension, Trollope in and on Asia, Australasia, Latin America and Russia.' Regenia Gagnier, author of Literatures of Liberalization: Global Circulation and the Long Nineteenth Century Explores the many ways in which Anthony Trollope is being read in the twenty-first century Since the turn of the century, the Victorian novelist Anthony Trollope has become a central figure in the critical understanding of Victorian literature. By bringing together leading Victorianists with a wide range of interests, this innovative collection of essays involves the reader in new approaches to Trollope's work. The contributors to this volume highlight dimensions that have hitherto received only scant attention and in doing so they aim to draw on the aesthetic capabilities of Trollope's twenty-first-century readers. Instead of reading Trollope's novels as manifestations of social theory, they aim to foster an engagement with a far more broadly theorised literary culture. Key Features - The most innovative collection of original essays on Anthony Trollope to date - Enables the reader to see the direction of Trollope studies and Victorian studies in the twenty-first century - Situates Trollope's work in newly emerging critical contexts, such as media networks and economics - Makes use of pioneering developments in stylistics, ethics, epistemology, and reception history Frederik Van Dam is Assistant Professor of European Literature at Radboud University Nijmegen. David Skilton is Emeritus Professor of English at Cardiff University. Ortwin de Graef is Professor of English Literature at the University of Leuven and director of the Paul Druwé Fund for Trollope Studies.

*APPROVED* 'This book is essential and exciting reading for all interested in the history of women in the inter-war period; an inter-disciplinary collection which explores a wide range of women's magazines including some like Eve, Britannia and Labour Women which are all too often neglected.' Maggie Andrews, University of Worcester Provides new perspectives on women's print media in interwar Britain This collection of 30 new essays recovers and explores a neglected archive of women's print media and dispels the myth of the interwar decades as a retreat to 'home and duty' for women. The volume demonstrates that women produced magazines and periodicals ranging in forms and appeal from highbrow to popular, private circulation to mass-market, and radical to reactionary. It shows that the 1920s and 1930s gave rise to a plurality of new challenges and opportunities for women as consumers, workers and citizens, as well as wives and mothers. Featuring interdisciplinary research by recognised specialists in the fields of literary and periodical studies as well as women's and cultural history, this volume recovers overlooked or marginalised media and archival sources, as well as reassessing well-known commercial titles. Designed as a 'go-to' resource both for readers new to the field and for specialists seeking the latest developments in this area of research, it opens up new directions and methodologies for modern periodical studies and cultural history. Organised by sections devoted to the arts, modern style, domestic and service magazines, and feminist and organisationally-based media, this volume foregrounds connections between different genres of women's periodical publishing and makes a major contribution to revisionist scholarship on the interwar period. The detailed appendix provides a valuable resource to facilitate new research on interwar women's magazines. Catherine Clay is Senior Lecturer in English at Nottingham Trent University.

'This book comprehensively overturns assumptions about women's exclusion from the business of eighteenth-century periodical print. From fan fiction to fashion design, from literary reviewing to pedagogic theory, female creativity is evident everywhere. Batchelor and Powell's collection is as visually and verbally rich as their subject.' Ros Ballaster, Mansfield College, University of Oxford Provides new perspectives on women's print media in the long eighteenth century This innovative volume presents for the first time collective expertise on women's magazines and periodicals of the long eighteenth century. While this period witnessed the birth of modern periodical culture and its ability to shape aspects of society from the popular to the political, most studies have traditionally obscured the very active role women's voices and women readers played in shaping the periodicals that in turn shaped Britain. The 30 essays here demonstrate the importance of periodicals to women, the importance of women to periodicals, and, crucially, they correct the destructive misconception that the more canonised periodicals and popular magazines were rival or discontinuous forms. This collection shows how both periodicals and women drove debates on politics, education, theatre, celebrity, social practice, popular reading and everyday life itself. Divided into 6 thematic parts, the book uses innovative methodologies for historical periodical studies, mapping new directions in eighteenth-century and Romantic studies, women's writing as well as media and cultural history. Jennie Batchelor is Professor of Eighteenth-Century Studies at the University of Kent. She is the author of Women's Work: Labour, Gender, Authorship, 1750-1830 (2014) as well as a number of publications on eighteenth-century periodicals and the histories of gender, sexuality and writing.

New perspectives on women's contributions to periodical culture in the era of modernism This collection highlights the contributions of women writers, editors and critics to periodical culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It explores women's role in shaping conversations about modernism and modernity across varied aesthetic and ideological registers, and foregrounds how such participation was shaped by a wide range of periodical genres. The essays focus on well-known publications and introduce those as yet obscure and understudied -- including middlebrow and popular magazines, movement-based, radical papers, avant-garde titles and classic little magazines. Examining neglected figures and shining new light on familiar ones, the collection enriches our understanding of the role women played in the print culture of this transformative period.

Foregrounds the diversity of periodicals, fiction and other printed matter targeted at women in the postwar period Women's Periodicals and Print Culture in Britain, 1940s-2000s draws attention to the wide range of postwar print cultures for women. The collection spans domestic, cultural and feminist magazines and extends to ephemera, novels and other printed matter as well as digital magazine formats. The essays examine both mainstream and independent publishing for women. They consider the history of publishing for women, the social contexts, and the ways in which the publications were used and understood by their readers over this long postwar period. The collection reflects in detail the important ways in which ways magazines and printed matter contributed to, challenged or informed British women's culture. A range of approaches, including interview, textual analysis and industry commentary, is employed in order to demonstrate the variety of ways in which the impact of postwar print media may be understood.
