Descriere magazin:
From political sleaze and scandal to West End hits and the \'feel-good\' factor, Michael Diamond explores the media stories that gripped Victorian society, in an age when newspapers became cheap, nationally distributed and easily accessible to all classes. Fully illustrated, and drawing on a wealth of original material, Victorian Sensation sheds light on the Victorians\' fascination with celebrity culture and their obsession with gruesome and explicit reportage of murders and sex scandals. With a vivid cast of characters, ranging from the serial poisoner William Palmer, to Charles Dickens, Jumbo the Elephant, distinguished politicians and even the Queen herself, this passionate analysis of the period reveals how the reporting methods of our own popular media have their origins in the Victorian press, and shows that sensation was as integral a part of society in the nineteenth century as it is today. About author(s): Michael Diamond has been an editor, producer and presenter for the BBC, where he worked on \'The World at One\' and the \'BBC World Service\'. He has a lifelong interest in the Victorian Age. He is also the author of \'Lesser Breeds: Racial Attitudes in Popular British Culture, 1890-1940\' (Anthem Press, 2006).
