- Abstract
"Work and the Nineteenth-Century Press: Living Work for Living People" is a book edited by Andrew King that explores the role of labor discourse in Victorian society as portrayed in trade periodicals and professional writings. The book examines how the press shaped and disseminated values associated with work, such as self-improvement and respectability. It includes chapters that analyze the connection between newspapers and local business interests, the representation of professional identities, and the use of the press to defend intellectual property. The book offers new perspectives on Victorian labor and its representation, making it a valuable resource for researchers interested in nineteenth-century literature, history, and print culture.
