James Mussell

Science, Time and Space in the Late Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press (eBook, ePUB)

Movable Types

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

James Mussell engages with nineteenth-century scientific writing and recent theoretical discussion to propose a new methodology that situates the periodical press in space and time. Well-known writers like H. G. Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle are discovered in new contexts, while other authors, publishers, editors, and scientists are discussed in ways that inform current debates about the status of digital publication and the preservation of archival material in electronic forms.
