- This 100,000-word monograph provides a sustained investigation into the relationship between popular literature, Victorian New Journalism and the cultural contexts of late nineteenth-century British imperialism. It is based on nine years' research requiring the collection and analysis of a large body of material drawn from 42 different nineteenth-century newspaper archives and collections. The resulting monograph constitutes a complex and multi-layered analysis of historical and literary texts. The first ever book-length study of late-Victorian special correspondents and related popular fiction, this monograph juxtaposes journalistic and literary texts, delivering an original contribution to research in literature, media history and cultural studies.
