Focusing on the significance of local weekly newspapers, this book highlights their popularity and influence in Victorian culture, surpassing even that of London papers and books. It redefines the cultural landscape by emphasizing provincial centers, arguing that understanding the local press is essential to grasping the broader histories of reading and publishing during this era. The work presents a fresh perspective on how place and a sense of community shaped the newspaper industry and its impact on society.
