Providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of scholarship on nineteenth-century British periodicals, this volume surveys the current state of research and offers researchers an in-depth examination of contemporary methodologies. The impact of digital media and archives on the field informs all discussions of the print archive. Contributors illustrate their arguments with examples and contextualize their topics within broader areas of study, while also reflecting on how the study of periodicals may evolve in the future. The Handbook will serve as a valuable resource for scholars and students of nineteenth-century culture who are interested in issues of cultural formation, transformation, and transmission in a developing industrial and globalizing age, as well as those whose research focuses on the bibliographical and the micro case study. In addition to rendering a comprehensive review and critique of current research on nineteenth-century British periodicals, the Handbook suggests new avenues for research in the twenty-first century.

"This volume's 30 chapters deal with practically every aspect of periodical research and with the specific topics and audiences the 19th-century periodical press addressed. It also covers matters such as digitization that did not exist or were in early development a generation ago. In addition to the essays, readers will find 50 illustrations, 54 pages of bibliography, and a chronology of the periodical press. This book gives seemingly endless insights into the ways periodicals and newspapers influenced and reflected 19th-century culture. It not only makes readers aware of problems involved in interpreting the history of the press but also offers suggestions for ways of untangling them and points the direction for future research. It will be a valuable resource for readers with interests in almost any aspect of 19th-century Britain. Summing Up: Highly recommended"

- J. D. Vann, University of North Texas in CHOICE

'Ranging from explorations of regional presses to the transformation of periodical scholarship through digitalization, this Ashgate Research Companion provides an overview of the history and theory of nineteenth-century British periodicals and newspapers. By offering an expansive view of the state of this rapidly developing field, these thirty essays suggest a variety of routes for that development in both future research and pedagogy. The multiple perspectives demonstrate exciting interventions by periodicals in art, politics, economics, and the everyday life and work of their readers'. Mark Schoenfield, Vanderbilt University, USA, author of British Periodicals and Romantic Identity: The 'Literary Lower Empire'
