- Title
The Penny Politics of Victorian Popular Fiction.
- Authors
Oulton, Carolyn W. de la L.
- Abstract
Rob Breton, however, contends that the penny press engages with, and helps to create, broader and more ambivalent cultural and political confrontations than critics have hitherto recognized. Breton's articulation of his own critical position is admirably precise, although readers less familiar with the history of the penny press would benefit from a more broad-brush overview of the genre and the current debates surrounding it. I The Penny Politics of Victorian Popular Fiction i rethinks the interactions among popular, commercial, and radical approaches during the 1830s and 1840s, including "the way penny literature pinched political content from radical papers" (2).
