From the broadsides of the sixteenth century to the broadsheets of the 19th century taking in the Civil War newsbooks the gutter press of the 18th century the rise of the Sunday papers full of sex sport and sensationalism and the birth of the popular press Bob Clarke describes the journey of the English newspaper from Grub Street to Fleet Street It vividly portrays the way the news was reported to provide a colourful if often gruesome picture of the social history of the past Originally published in hardback at 60 the book is now revised and republished in paperback at a more accessible price The Times Literary Supplement described it as A highly entertaining and informative introduction to English newspaper history And the Guardian said This buoyant account is larded with choice examples of 18th century journalism there are stories of crimes and bodysnatching bilious political vituperation macabrely precise accounts of some of the daily tragedies of life it has a relish for its subject

The first edition of Gissings New Grub Street appeared in three volumes in 1891 and all of the many subsequent Englishlanguage editions have been based on this text Gissing wanted to revise and abridge it but never found a publisher willing to issue a revised text However when his companion Gabrielle Fleury translated the novel into French Gissing made extensive cuts in the copy from which she worked He approved the final translation which was published in 1901 under the title La Rue des MeurtdeFaim That year Gissing wrote to Henry Davray who had reviewed New Grub Street and Born in Exile in the Mercure de France Of course you are right about the superfluities to be found in both of them The fault is partly due to their having been written when English fiction was subjected to the threevolume system but also in a measure to the haste in which all my early work was done As the Oxford undergraduate said about his essay I had not time to make the things shorter However in the case of New Grub Street this defect is remedied in the French translation almost a third of the novel has been cut out If ever I get the opportunity I shall give all my books a vigorous revision amp cut them down Gissing eliminated various minor characters and subplots and cut some passages of autobiography and personal opinion that were not relevant to the main themes of the novel Altogether the revised New Grub Street is a more unified work with a stronger narrative drive

In New Grub Street George Gissing recreated a microcosm of Londons literary society as he had experienced it His novel is at once a major social document and a story that draws us irresistibly into the twilit world of Edwin Reardon a struggling novelist and his friends and acquaintances in Grub Street including Jasper Milvain an ambitious journalist and Alfred Yule an embittered critic Here Gissing brings to life the bitter battles fought out in obscure garrets or in the Reading Room of the British Museum between integrity and the dictates of the market place the miseries of genteel poverty and the damage that failure and hardship do to human personality and relationships

Original both in its sources and in the claims it makes for the nature extent and complexities of womens participation in print culture and public politics this book provides a wealth of new information about middle and lowerclass womens political and literary lives and shows that these women were not merely the passive distributors of other peoples political ideas Quite to the contrary women of the widest possible variety of socioeconomic backgrounds and religiopolitical allegiances played so prominent a role in the production and transmission of political ideas through print as to belie simultaneous powerful claims that women had no place in public life

First published in 1972 this is the first detailed study of the milieu of the eighteenthcentury literary hack and its significance in Augustan literature Although the modern term Grub Street has declined into vague metaphor for the Augustan satirists it embodied not only an actual place but an emphatic lifestyle Pat Rogers shows that the major satirists Pope Swift and Fielding built a potent fiction surrounding the real circumstances in which the scribblers lived and the importance of this aspect of their writing The author first locates the original Grub Street in what is now the Barbican and then presents a detailed topographical tour of the surrounding area With studies of a number of key authors as well as the modern and metaphorical development of the term Grub Street this book offers comprehensive insight into the nature of Augustan literature and the social conditions and concerns that inspired it

The crime appeared as easily solved as it was wicked A Grub Street printer his family and two apprentices brutally murdered in their sleep A locked building And at the scene a raving mad poet brandishing a bloody axe Surely the culprit had been found and justice would be swift and severe But to Sir John Fielding justice was more than finding a culpritit was finding the truth Aided by thirteenyearold Jeremy Proctor Fielding decided to investigate further And the truth behind the Grub Street massacre was more eviland more deadlythan the dastardly crime itself

Jeremy Lewiss first memoir Playing for Time was hailed by James LeesMilne as the funniest and best written book Ive read for years His second Kindred Spirits was described by John Carey as sheer pleasure from start to finish Now he has written a third autobiographical account of his encounters with literary figures over the last two decades which fittingly caps the previous two A rich sense of the absurd and a profound understanding of the extreme comicality of life together with a delight in the oddities of human behavior are the hallmarks of Jeremy Lewiss world Bumbling figures of the book trade and eccentric luminaries of Grub Street alike are grist to his mill his characterizations of André Deutsch James LeesMilne Alan Ross Richard Cobb Barbara Skelton and dozens of others are written with huge warmth and affection Seldom has modern literary life been described with such a sense of relish and enjoyment and seldom has the reader been so richly entertained by a gallery of eccentric portraits
