Full Description
This volume explores the nineteenth-century transnational British press published in non-Anglophone countries across Europe, the Levant, the Mediterranean, Asia and Latin America during a key period of press development and of British expansionism. Edited by an international research team, the twenty-five original essays contribute significantly to recent periodicals scholarship by bringing under study long-ignored publications and analysing them within both their global and local historical, cultural, technological and journalistic contexts. Adopting an approach that focuses on networks, circulation and exchange to draw the outlines of this transnational press formation, it pays special attention to the international trajectories and intercultural competencies of their editors and staff, the function this press fulfilled for the British expatriate communities and their host societies and its status within the local, British and global media ecosystems. In turn, it highlights the circulation and adaptation of press models across borders and broadens our understanding of what constituted the nineteenth-century British press.
