Such periodicals are known as 'little magazines' for their small-scale production and their circulation among limited audiences, and during the late Victorian period they were often conceptualized as integrated designs or total works of art in order to visually and materially represent the ideals of their producers. Little magazines like the Pre-Raphaelite Germ, the Arts \u0026amp; Crafts Hobby Horse and the Decadent Yellow Book launched the careers of innovative authors and artists and provided a site for debate between minor contributors and visiting grandees from Matthew Arnold to Oscar Wilde. This book offers detailed discussions of the background to thirteen major little magazines of the Victorian era, both situating these within the periodical press of their day and providing interpretations of representative items, in doing so, it outlines the earliest history of this enduring publication genre, and of the Aesthetic Movement that developed along with it. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFirst monograph to focus on the origins and development of the little magazine genre during the Victorian period\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter provides a representative introduction to the respective little magazines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombines new insights with a critical overview of the state of the art on each discussed little magazine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Koenraad Claes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474426212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474426213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Koenraad Claes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44159390351615,"sku":"9781474426213","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_207e80a2-3af2-44bd-8c0c-83005b15d1d2.jpg?v=1689082318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-late-victorian-little-magazine-koenraad-claes-9781474426213","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
