Over dit product
Product Information
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.

Reviews
This book is a great and not-to-be missed treat for anyone with an interest in Victorian cultural history.' Dickensian, 'This is a fun book. The reader is constantly thinking , "Ah that's what it was all about..." The book is well illustrated with the sort of ephemera of the period that is now so sought after, and there are many quotes from the music hall balladeers who were quick to latch on to each and every sensation as soon as it became hot news.' -'Bookdealer', 'This enthralling book shows that the Victorians revelled in political and sexual scandals, murder reports, and the antics of royalty, the upper classes and celebrities. Diamond tackles his theme with verve and skill.' -'Sunday Times', 'Entertaining... the newspapers were offering a glimpse into another kind of world, an assertion that people living not very far away from the reader had a very different, and probably more exciting, lifestyle.' -'Guardian', 'This enthralling book shows that the Victorians revelled in political and sexual scandals, murder reports, and the antics of royalty, the upper classes and celebrities.

It may have some good information but I am completely annoyed by all the incomplete sentences, missing tables, NUMEROUS formatting errors, misspellings, scrambled words, grammatical errors, etc. Again, I highly doubt the accuracy of the nutritional information listed. EGADS. Most likely written and published by the same author as the last awful book I ordered although two different names are assigned to the books. I won't say "don't buy" but be aware this is not a high quality publication.
