The Victorian middle-class first encountered novelists such as Trollope, Dickens, and Thackeray in serialized rather than book form in 19th century magazines. Turner (English, Rochampton Institute, London) reads Trollope's fiction as it appeared in such influential periodicals as and Fortnightly Review/> in tandem with a critique of how they reflected cultural issues of the day, in particular the "Woman Question" and manliness. Contains several illustrations of magazine covers and advertisements. Appends a list of Trollop's works published or serialized while he was editor of the male-gendered (a role examined in a chapter entitled "The Editor as Predator"), and a vignette from (1890).
