Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Extending the limits of the award-winning Routledge Handbook to Nineteenth-Century Periodicals and Newspapers (2016) and its companion volume (and also award-winning) Researching the Nineteenth-Century Press: Case Studies (2017), Work and the Nineteenth-Century Press: Living Work for Living People advances our knowledge of how our identities have become inextricably defined by work. The collection’s innovative focus on the nineteenth-century British press’s relationship to work illuminates an area whose effects are still evident today but which has been almost totally neglected hitherto.
Offering bold new interpretative frameworks and provocative methodologies in media history and literary studies developed by an exciting group of new and established talent, this volume seeks to set a new research agenda for nineteenth-century interdisciplinary studies.
Shortlisted for the 2023 RSVP Robert and Vineta Colby Book Prize
"[We are] impressed by the combination of weighty original research shown here with some ambitious conceptual models concerned with the classification and exploration...of the press... [The introduction] is a highlight of the collection, with its incisive scheme for understanding the multiple relationships between work and liberalism."
--RSVP Robert and Vineta Colby Book Prize Panel
"[This volume] is a vibrant, invaluable contribution to the study of the Victorian periodical press… this volume reveals how an impressive, dizzying range of trade and professional periodicals documented the work lives, practices, and controversies of an assortment of industries, and also dramatically transformed those industries.
While so many of us were isolated at home, realising the extent to which our workplaces were social and cultural spaces and wondering if they ever would be again, King and colleagues documented ‘the living work’ done by Victorian people and their periodicals. The result is a powerful vision of the Victorian world with great resonance for our own."
--Rebecca Nesvet, University of Wisconsin, Green Bay
