It surveys a broad range of essay-periodicals and magazines from Richard Steele’s Tatler (1709) through the market’s magazine domination in the 1760s. Organized into ten chapters, it analyzes major periodicals such as The Spectator, Common Sense, Edward Cave’s first magazine, and Frances Brooke’s Old Maid, connecting editorial practice to authors and readerships. It is positioned as an essential critical introduction for scholars of media, history, and literature.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-rise-of-literary-journalism-in-the-eighteenth-century/330085/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-rise-of-literary-journalism-in-the-eighteenth-century/330085.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Evangeline","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",12,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What period does the book cover when studying eighteenth-century literary journalism?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"It ranges broadly from 1690 to 1770, beginning with the launch of the first essay-periodical, Richard Steele’s Tatler (1709), and moving through the magazine-dominated market of the 1760s.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"How is the study organized?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"The main analysis is structured into ten individual chapters, each focused on particular periodicals and editorial or literary issues, from The Spectator to Frances Brooke’s Old Maid.",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"Why does the author frame the topic as important within the Enlightenment?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"The book treats literary journalism as closely tied to the development of the public sphere and the wider literary scene, linking periodical forms to authors and readers in the Enlightenment.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},330085,1790072544,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":140,"language":141,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":142,"faqs":143,"seo_title":144,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":145,"read_time":146},13056703019662,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/be000253a8e92610077?_k=1778726343310543188","The Rise of Literary Journalism in the Eighteenth Century  \nThe 1980s, 1990s and 2000s have witnessed a heightened interest in eighteenth-century literary journalism, an interest that reflects growing critical fascination with the development of the public sphere in the Enlightenment. While there are a number of individual studies on specific categories of publications, until now there has been little attempt to survey the broad field of the periodical itself as a literary phenomenon.  \nThe Rise of Literary Journalism in the Eighteenth Century fills this gap in the existing scholarship. Examining the period from the launch of the first essay-periodical, Richard Steele’s Tatler (1709), to the domination of the market by magazines in the 1760s, Italia surveys a range of monthly, weekly and sub-weekly publications, producing a study remarkable for its scope and admirable for its depth. The ten individual chapters focus on publications ranging from the Spectator to Frances Brooke’s Old Maid.  \nAppealing to scholars studying media, history and literature, The Rise of Literary Journalism is a much-needed addition to the fruitful areas of literary journalism studies and the Enlightenment.  \nIona Italia is a Lecturer in English Literature at the University of East Anglia.  \nRoutledge studies in eighteenth-century literature  \n1 The Epistolary Novel  \nRepresentations of consciousness Joe Bray  \n2 Slavery and Augustan Literature  \nSwift, Pope, Gay John Richardson  \n3 The Rise of Literary Journalism in the Eighteenth Century  \nAnxious employment Iona Italia  \nThe Rise of Literary Journalism in the Eighteenth Century  \nAnxious employment  \nIona Italia  \nFirst published 2005  \nby Routledge  \n2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n270 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group  \nThis edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005.  \n“To purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s collection of thousands of [eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk](eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk).”© 2005 Iona Italia  \nAll rights reserved.
