Trollope and the Magazines: Gendered Issues in Mid-Victorian Britain

Trollope and the Magazines examines a serial publication of several of Trollope's novels in the context of the gendered discourses circulating in a range of Victorian magazines--including Cornhill, Good Words, Saint Pauls, and the Fortnightly Review. It highlights the importance of the periodical press in the literary culture of Victorian Britain, and argues that readers today need to engage with the lively cultural debates in the magazines, in order to appreciate more fully the complexity of Trollope's popular fiction.
