Opis

This book suggests alternative ways of looking at what made a writer, what people gained from writing, and explores the alternative world of temperance periodicals of the 19th and early 20th century. Introducing now-forgotten writers who, in their thousands, kept the Victorian periodical presses rolling, and the public entertained.
