From penny bloods and religious tracts to weekly periodicals and humorous annuals filled with woodcut illustrations, these essays tell a compelling tale about how popular media forms grew and thrived. Offering an enlightening analysis of popular publishing, the contributors resituate the period as one that is essential to understanding not only nineteenth-century publishing, but also our own digital media environment. --Jennifer Phegley, University of Missouri
