Rezensionen

Awarded Honorary Mention in the prestigious annual RSVP (Research Society for Victorian Periodicals) Colby Book Prize for 2024!

"The award committee praised The Periodical Press Revolution for offering 'a bold and ambitious argument centred on E. S. Dallas's influential 1859 essays for Blackwood's Magazine. Based on an intertwined methodology of quantitative data and qualitative argument, this is an impressive book about press transformations underpinned by a media theory approach. Graham Law gives fresh and valuable perspectives in particular on structural change and developments in the British nineteenth-century press through Dallas as an organizing figure.'"
