Taylor & Francis Ltd Charles Dickenss Our Mutual Friend A Publishing
Book SynopsisEven within the context of Charles Dickens''s history as a publishing innovator, Our Mutual Friend is notable for what it reveals about Dickens as an author and about Victorian publishing. Marking Dickens''s return to the monthly number format after nearly a decade of writing fiction designed for weekly publication in All the Year Round, Our Mutual Friend emerged against the backdrop of his failing health, troubled relationship with Ellen Ternan, and declining reputation among contemporary critics. In his subtly argued publishing history, Sean Grass shows how these difficulties combined to make Our Mutual Friend an extraordinarily odd novel, no less in its contents and unusually heavy revisions than in its marketing by Chapman and Hall, its transformation from a serial into British and U.S. book editions, its contemporary reception by readers and reviewers, and its delightfully uneven reputation among critics in the 150 years since Dickens's death. Enhanced by four appendices that offTrade Review'Grass looks at how Our Mutual Friend came to be during a critical time in Dickens's life: his marriage had ended, his health was deteriorating, and he was returning to the monthly (rather than weekly) serial format after a decade's absence. ...This work is required reading for serious Dickens scholars. ...Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.'Choice 'This book represents an impressive scholarly achievement and will be the authoritative critical work on the novel for years to come. The background, reception, textual history and afterlives of this most sophisticated of Dickens novels are analyzed with both rigor and gusto. An appendix reprinting all known reviews of the text is indispensable. Our Mutual Friend and its fortunes are brought alive in these pages with devotion and detail; Grass has done a great service to Dickens's last finished novel and to Dickens studies more generally.’ - Juliet John, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK and author of Dickens and Mass Culture 'I found this book to be both interesting and very readable, to the point that I will now re-read Our Mutual Friend with a better and different frame of mind, now having an appreciation of the circumstances under which it was written.’ - NSW Dickens Society 'Grass's book provides a useful, all-in-one resource for understanding the publishing history and larger context of Our Mutual Friend. It is a scholarly book written with flashes of Dickensian humor. ... I would have gladly welcomed a book like this several years back ... ' - New Books on Literature 19 (NBOL 19) ’... clearly written and well researched... This volume, handsomely illustrated, will be of greatest use for students wishing to understand the place of Our Mutual Friend in critical history. Sean Grass has done well at contextualizing the creation and publication of this novel, and at reflecting changing critical attitudes toward Dickens’s last completed novel.’ - Dickens Quarterly "By opening with the scornful critique of one who would go on to become another literary great, Grass sets the stakes high for his own efforts: he is out to prove Henry James wrong. With this book, the results of rigorous and probing research recounted in energetic prose and with captivating storytelling, Grass fully succeeds… By illuminating the context around the writing, publishing, and reception of this novel, Grass succeeds in providing a rich resource towards the growing scholarship on Dickens’s final work, and more than drowns out the harsh words of a young American critic that have too often dwarfed the book itself."- Pamela Casey, McGill University, School of Information Studies, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: Our Mutual Friend: ’the poorest of Mr Dickens’s works’; The man from somewhere: Ellen Ternan, Staplehurst, and the remaking of Charles Dickens; The cup and the lip: writing Our Mutual Friend; Putting a price upon a man’s mind: Our Mutual Friend in the marketplace; A dismal swamp?

Taylor & Francis Total Propaganda From Mass Culture To Popular
Book SynopsisTotal Propaganda moves the study of propaganda out of the exclusive realm of world politics into the more inclusive study of popular culture, media, and politics. All the participatory functioning elements of the society are aspects of membership in the popular culture. Thus, the values of popular music, media, politics, debates over social issues, and even international trade become everyday propaganda to which everyone may relate.To emphasize the necessity for new thinking about propaganda, Edelstein creates the concepts of the new propaganda and the old, and he devises a language of uninyms to convey their meanings more quickly. Oldprop is characteristic of mass cultures and utilizes totalitarian methods of conflict, hegemony, minimization, demonization, and exclusiveness to achieve its goals. By contrast, newprop is created by members of the popular culture to allow them to engage in accomodation, enhance the individual, and promote inclusiveness. Shifts in the old and the new propaganda are tracked across social issues such as race, religion, sexuality, gender, gun control, and the environment, as well as in fashion, politics, advertising, sports, media, and politics.Central to the concept of total propaganda is that it is not simply additive; it is the product of new energies that are produced by the fusing of propaganda in such related forums as music, art, advertising, sports and politics. It is these synergies, and their production of new energies, that make total propaganda greater than the sum of its parts.Edelstein concludes that the most important distinction that should be drawn between mass culture and popular culture is its text; i.e., its propaganda. In a popular culture, everyone creates and consumes propaganda; in a mass culture almost everyone consumes it but only a few create it. This formulation offers new ways to discuss power and ideology in media texts. As an example, where once the least informed and the least educated were the most subject to propaganda, now the most informed and most educated often are the first to create propaganda and the first to consume it.Trade Review"Total Propaganda offers the reader a nearly total look at U.S. popular culture in the 1990s. Total Propaganda merits the attention of those involved in public relations education."—Public Relations Review"...the book makes fascinating reading mainly because of the author's imaginative and thoughtful references to entertainment, media and some critical social issues, and actors....will offer a pleasant challenge to those who are willing to stretch their definitional horizons and share Edelstein's view that propaganda in our time and place is as ubiquitous as culture."—Journalism & Mass Communication QuarterlyUSE FIRST THREE TESTIMONIALS ONLY FOR GENERAL CATALOGS...

StevensonUniversity of North Carolina"The always inventive author provides a cornucopia of ideas and insights about politics and communication as he deconstructs the old propaganda paradigm and illuminates the new."—David PaletzDuke University"Political scientists and Asia specialists will appreciate the creative approach to the analysis of propaganda with respect to trade and politics."—Alan P.L. LiuCalifornia, Santa Barbara"Total Propaganda is for students and about them. My students are excited about the concept of the new propaganda."—Diana S. TillinghastSan Jose State University"The author's distinction between the old and the new propagandas redirects us to old and new forms of media criticism and old and new media effects."—Steve ChaffeeStanford University"The conceptual distinction between the old and the new propaganda gives us much to think about and is worthy of empirical exploration."—Lee B. BeckerThe Ohio State University"A fresh, creative, and original look at politics, popular culture, and propaganda. Important reading for the end of this century and the beginning of the next."—Chuck WhitneyUniversity of Texas"...pushes out the boundaries of the study of propaganda in the popular culture in understandable, creative, and contemporary ways."—Garth JowettHouston University"Total Propaganda offers us a fresh and intriguing mix of the new propaganda, politics, and the media."—W.
