Examining the important role played by the Victorian periodical in defining and refining gender roles during the second half of the nineteenth century, this study analyzes the periodical press in nineteenth-century culture.

The authors examine broad questions as they are explored in a range of periodicals, from literary and political reviews to comic magazines.
