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 Author InformationRichard Menke is an associate professor of English at the University of Georgia.
