Reviews

'Jackson's work makes a serious contribution to our knowledge of turn-of-the-century British magazine publishing and reading culture, and how these Newnes publications served their readers.' H-Net Reviews 'Kate Jackson has written an extraordinarily rich and detailed history of culture in Britain of the 1880s and 1890s, full of vigorous individual characters, profound group identities of gender, class, and nation... Apart from a 1911 biography by a colleague, this is the first full-length study of Newnes, and it fills an important gap in Victorian periodical research. Specialists will value the book for its thorough coverage of a central proprietor and his major titles; technical matters such as illustrations and print technology are dealt with.' Victorian Periodicals Review 'Impressive theoretical analyses are liberally sprinkled throughout the book... [Kate Jackson's] writing is of a high quality and her conclusions are generally persuasive. Newnes, himself a contradictory figure as both liberal imperialist and moralizing populist, has been expertly resurrected by Jackson and shown to be central to his age.' Albion 'Kate Jackson has written an important book, which deserves to be widely read. Given the variety of historiographical and methodological lenses that she uses to decode these periodicals Jackson's study will also be of interest to historians working in the fields of popular politics, book history, empire, women's and gender history, and youth culture.' History '... a thought-provoking book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of late Victorian and Edwardian culture... Both Ashgate and the general editors of The Nineteenth Century Series are to be congratulated for this fine addition to the series.' Australasian Victorian Studies Journals
