Excellent- More about New Media and the Rise of the Popular Woman Writer, 1832 1860
This book explores the relationship between the rise of new media during the early decades of the Victorian era and the opportunities that arose for women to write for emerging mass-market audiences. It highlights the integral relationship between the rise of the popular woman writer and the expansion and diversification of newspaper, book, and periodical print media. It includes discussions of canonical women writers such as Felicia Hemans, Charlotte Bront, and George Eliot, as well as lesser-known figures such as Eliza Cook and Frances Brown. It also examines how women readers actively responded to a robust popular print culture by creating scrapbooks and engaging in forms of celebrity worship.

This book highlights the integral relationship between the rise of the popular woman writer and the expansion and diversification of newspaper, book, and periodical print media during a period of unprecedented change, 1832-1860. It includes discussions of canonical women writers such as Felicia Hemans, Charlotte Bront, and George Eliot, as well as lesser-known figures such as Eliza Cook and Frances Brown. It also examines the ways in which women readers actively responded to a robust popular print culture by creating scrapbooks and engaging in forms of celebrity worship. At the same time, it demonstrates how Victorian women's participation in popular print culture anticipates our own engagement with new media in the twenty-first century.
