Reviews

'Menke's book has much to offer readers interested in periodical studies, especially the connections between new mediums such as the telegraph and the developing mass media.' Troy J. Bassett, Victorian Periodicals Review 'The book leaves you with a sense of a complex interlaced media system, and it is an exceptionally well written cross-disciplinary book. It is also to be considered a great strength of the book that it deals with a period of only 20 years, allowing the reader to get a sense of how deeply technological developments pushed changes in media and of how writing was viewed during this focused period of time.' Laura Sovso Thomasen, Metascience
