Is the review so capacious in expression and function that it discourages efforts to talk about it in general terms? Is it as a textual object separable from the act of reviewing; that is, does the noun always imply the verb? How do we navigate the range of affordances that attach to reviewing as a process, a profession, an act of production? This introduction to a special issue on the book review in the nineteenth-century addresses these questions to expand our knowledge of reviewing culture and offer conceptual frameworks for studying reviews.","PeriodicalId":44337,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Periodicals Review","volume":"55 1","pages":"155 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44987164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the anti-colonial nation-making that swept over much of the Indian subcontinent, book reviews were pressed into the role of producing indigenous histories. The turn to history altered the book review, which morphed from a review of books into a general review—or overview—of an historical moment.","PeriodicalId":44337,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Periodicals Review","volume":"55 1","pages":"257 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47861101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars have explored the effect of Oliphant’s criticism on Braddon and Belgravia, but little attention has been paid to the fact that Oliphant responded directly to Sala’s accusations in her subsequent review articles in Blackwood’s. Taking the Braddon-Sala affair as a turning point in Oliphant’s literary criticism, this essay examines Oliphant’s review articles of the 1870s to demonstrate how the debate over sensation influenced her critical ethics.","PeriodicalId":44337,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Periodicals Review","volume":"55 1","pages":"155 - 175 - 176 - 200 - 201 - 216 - 217 - 236 - 237 - 256 - 257 - 273 - 274 - 293 - 294 - 297 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49015762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
