Nineteenth-Century Media and the Construction of Identities

Taking as its theme, the ways the media serves to define identities--national, ethnic, professional, gender, and textual, the volume addresses serials in the UK, the US, and Australia. High culture rubs shoulders with the popular press, text with image, feminist periodicals and masculine, gay, and domestic serials. Theory and history combine in research by scholars of international repute.Brake, Laurel is the author of 'Nineteenth-Century Media and the Construction of Identities' with ISBN 9780312232153 and ISBN 0312232152.
