- This 140,000-word monograph uses an unusually large number and variety of sources to support its sophisticated argument. Many of these sources have been analysed quantitatively in depth, using content analysis of newspapers, and quantitative analysis of library/reading room records and other reader evidence. Its scope is extended by investigating nineteenth-century local newspapers from two distinct perspectives: readers and their reading preferences, and the production processes behind the newspaper content. It investigates a phenomenon which was both local and national, requiring a large number of local examples from across England to support a new argument which challenges received wisdom.
