Telegraphic Realism

Zusatztext " Telegraphic Realism argues that Victorian realism was galvanized-in some cases quite literally-by Victorian technology. From the Penny Post to the electric telegraph to the wireless! Menke delineates a "media ecology" and an increasing awareness of writing itself as a technology. Attending to advertising! scientific writing! and political and social debates! he shows how novelists were preoccupied with technologies that claimed realist effects and challenged literary claims to mimesis."
