The Nineteenth-Century Press in the Digital

James Mussellprovides an accessible account of the digitization of nineteenth-century newspapers and periodicals. As studying this material is essential to understand the period, he argues that we have no choice but to engage with the new digital resources that have transformed how we access the print archive.

James Mussell is Lecturer in English at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of Science, Time and Space in the Late Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press (2007) and one of the editors of the Nineteenth-Century Serials Edition (ncse) (2008).
