Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This innovative, insightful, and valuable collection advances the historical and critical understanding of scientific periodical publication and readership in nineteenth-century Britain in important ways. Much of the existing literature on the topic has focused on general-interest periodicals; this volume offers, for the first time, an extremely well-researched, substantial comparative study of specialist scientific periodicals throughout the period. It's an impressive and polished collection of scholarship."--Robin Vandome, University of Nottingham
