This volume examines documents related to the very extensive press in Britain and Ireland in the nineteenth-century, produced and consumed outside London, including the metropolitan presses of Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin and Cardiff as well as the many smaller local presses. The collection explores the rise of national consciousness, journalistic networks, the emergence of new generations, and the links between the local and the London press and between non-London presses. Thematic clusters of primary sources include networks; geographies of production; geographies of consumption; technological change; art and artistic techniques; finance; amd adverts are founded on considerations of gender, class, race and the environment.
