This Companion showcases the latest research into British colonial periodicals by leading scholars in the field. The first ever large-scale attempt to gather into one volume research on British colonial periodicals, the chapters in this volume analyse the fundamental role played by colonial periodicals in sustaining as well as contesting the economic, political and cultural hegemony of the British Empire from its inception to its fall. The volume considers both periodicals published in Britain for colonial consumption and those published in British colonies and dominions.

Industry Reviews

This impressive volume brings together a range of colonial periodicals, produced both in Britain and across her colonies, to offer at a glance a multitude of positions on political, societal and economic matters. While commending the sheer scale of this enterprise, the real value of the book also lies in its pulling together of hugely different contexts that were yet linked through the imperial connection. The resulting insights on the colonial public sphere, women, language, trans-colonial networks and anti-imperialist movements as well as the actual processes of production and circulation of printed periodicals, are invaluable for anyone interested in colonial print and its dissemination across the globe. An additional attraction is the rich collection of images that embed the discussions in far more potent ways than a focus on text alone would have done.--Anindita Ghosh, University of Manchester
