Trollope and the magazines1999

"Trollope and the Magazines examines the serial publication of several of Trollope's in the context of the gendered discourses in a range of Victorian magazines. From the hugely popular and influential Cornhill Magazine to the radical Fortnightly Review, this study seeks to understand Trollope's fiction as it intersects with the other fiction and non-fiction alongside which it was first published. By reading Trollope as a serial novelist, we can better appreciate the interesting ways his fiction engages with cultural debates around issues such as the 'Woman Question', middle-class manliness, and sensationalism, and we can understand more clearly the cultural importance of the periodical press to the Victorians."--BOOK JACKET.
