'A wide-ranging collection of some of the best critics in English on Britain's preeminent political novelist. I particularly appreciate the international dimension, Trollope in and on Asia, Australasia, Latin America and Russia.' Regenia Gagnier, author of Literatures of Liberalization: Global Circulation and the Long Nineteenth Century Explores the many ways in which Anthony Trollope is being read in the twenty-first century Since the turn of the century, the Victorian novelist Anthony Trollope has become a central figure in the critical understanding of Victorian literature. By bringing together leading Victorianists with a wide range of interests, this innovative collection of essays involves the reader in new approaches to Trollope's work. The contributors to this volume highlight dimensions that have hitherto received only scant attention and in doing so they aim to draw on the aesthetic capabilities of Trollope's twenty-first-century readers. Instead of reading Trollope's novels as manifestations of social theory, they aim to foster an engagement with a far more broadly theorised literary culture. Key Features - The most innovative collection of original essays on Anthony Trollope to date - Enables the reader to see the direction of Trollope studies and Victorian studies in the twenty-first century - Situates Trollope's work in newly emerging critical contexts, such as media networks and economics - Makes use of pioneering developments in stylistics, ethics, epistemology, and reception history Frederik Van Dam is Assistant Professor of European Literature at Radboud University Nijmegen. David Skilton is Emeritus Professor of English at Cardiff University. Ortwin de Graef is Professor of English Literature at the University of Leuven and director of the Paul Druwé Fund for Trollope Studies.

'This book comprehensively overturns assumptions about women's exclusion from the business of eighteenth-century periodical print. From fan fiction to fashion design, from literary reviewing to pedagogic theory, female creativity is evident everywhere. Batchelor and Powell's collection is as visually and verbally rich as their subject.' Ros Ballaster, Mansfield College, University of Oxford Provides new perspectives on women's print media in the long eighteenth century This innovative volume presents for the first time collective expertise on women's magazines and periodicals of the long eighteenth century. While this period witnessed the birth of modern periodical culture and its ability to shape aspects of society from the popular to the political, most studies have traditionally obscured the very active role women's voices and women readers played in shaping the periodicals that in turn shaped Britain. The 30 essays here demonstrate the importance of periodicals to women, the importance of women to periodicals, and, crucially, they correct the destructive misconception that the more canonised periodicals and popular magazines were rival or discontinuous forms. This collection shows how both periodicals and women drove debates on politics, education, theatre, celebrity, social practice, popular reading and everyday life itself. Divided into 6 thematic parts, the book uses innovative methodologies for historical periodical studies, mapping new directions in eighteenth-century and Romantic studies, women's writing as well as media and cultural history.
