The Victorian Era saw a revolution in communication technology. Millions of texts emerged from a complex network of writers, editors, publishers and reviewers, to shape and be shaped by the dynamics of a rapidly industrializing society. Many of these works offer fundamental, often surprising insights into Victorian society. Why, for example, did the innocuously titled Essays and Reviews (1860) trigger public outrage? How did Eliza Lynn Linton become the first salaried woman journalist in England? What is "table-talk"?Critical approaches to Victorian prose have long focused on a few canonical writers. Recent scholarship has recognized a wide diversity of practitioners, forms and modes of dissemination. Presented in accessible A-Z format, this literary companion reinstates nonfiction as a principal vehicle of knowledge and debate in Victorian Britain.

This book explores the variety of forms and discourses employed by members of the Gosse family, tracing the intergenerational, intertextual, and interdisciplinary conversations between its members during the period from the 1820s to the 1930s. It argues that this middle-class family, through a passion for nature and religion, art and literature, produced accounts of biblical or literary figures which took autobiography and biography beyond family parameters, to the life cycles of flora and fauna, and even the ‘afterlives’ of books. With each generation, inherited models of life narrative are reshaped and repurposed. Kathy Rees draws on a plethora of Gosse manuscript materials as well as published texts to uncover writing intended for both private and public consumption, and to bring to light new works.
