Title: Science in the nineteenth-century periodical
Description: "Ranging across diverse forms of periodicals, from top-selling religious and juvenile magazines through to popular fiction-based periodicals, and from the campaigning 'new journalism' of the late century to the comic satire of Punch, this book explores the ways in which scientific ideas and developments were presented to a variety of Victorian audiences. In addition, it offers three case studies of the representation of particular areas of science: 'baby science', scientific biography, and electricity. This innovative collaborative volume sheds new light on issues relating to history and history of science, literature, book history, and cultural and medical studies."--Jacket.
