This interdisciplinary study discusses the significance of Evans's work as a journalist, editor and serial-fiction writer in the periodical press from the late 1840s to the late 1850s and positions this early career against critical responses to Evans's later literary persona, George Eliot. Dillane argues that Evans's association with the nineteenth-century periodical industry, that dominant cultural force of the age, is important for its illumination of Evans's understanding of the formation of reading audiences, the development of literary genres and the cultivation of literary celebrity. 410 0$aCambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ;$v88. 606 $aJournalism$xAuthorship$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPress$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPeriodicals$xPublishing$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aJournalism$xAuthorship$xHistory 615 0$aPress$xHistory 615 0$aPeriodicals$xPublishing$xHistory 676 $a823/.8 686 $aLIT004120$2bisacsh 700 $aDillane$b Fionnuala$0763414 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790402403321 996 $aBefore George Eliot$91548818 997 $aUNINA
