Description for Histories for the Many: The Victorian Family Magazine and Popular Representations of the Past: The Leisure Hour, 1852-1870
Paperback. Num Pages: 310 pages, 22 b/w illus. BIC Classification: 1DBK; 2AB; 3JH; DSBF; HBJD1; HBTB; JFCA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 150 x 226 x 19. Weight in Grams: 454.
Histories for the Many examines the contribution of illustrated family magazines to Victorian historical culture. How, by whom, for whom and with which intentions was history used within this popular medium? How were class, gender, age, religion, and space debated? How were academic and popular approaches to the past linked to the materiality of the medium? The focus is set on the evangelical Leisure Hour with comparisons to the London Journal, Good Words and Cornhill. The study's approach to the serialisation of history in text and image combines periodical studies and book history with concepts from cultural studies, sociology as well as narratology.
