Stephen's weekly journalism established him as a vigorous cross-examiner in the controversies--cultural, social, religious, political, moral, and philosophical--of his time (and duly, of our time). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollected here now are his essays on the novel and journalism, the co-operation and collusion of these two, their responsibilities and irresponsibilities. Written between 1855 and 1867, while Stephen prosecuted twin careers as barrister and journalist, these reviews bring to bear his formidable powers of mind and of phrasing, scrutinizing many deep and disconcerting novelists--Dickens and Thackeray, Harriet Beecher Stowe and E. C. Gaskell, Flaubert and Balzac. His work also weighs journalism in the scales: from Addison's \u003cem\u003eThe Spectator\u003c\/em\u003e to the Crimean war correspondence of William Howard Russell; from the scabrously detailed law-reports in \u003cem\u003eThe Times\u003c\/em\u003e to the phenomenon of Letters to its Editor; from the high culture of Matthew Arnold to the mass market of 'Railroad Bookselling'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Ricks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Selected Writings of James Fitzjames Stephen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.30w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192882837","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43784576008329,"sku":"9780192882837","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f73b7a79-6efe-4af9-bb90-4bbb2c095d87.jpg?v=1742274623","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/selected-writings-of-james-fitzjames-stephen-on-the-novel-and-journalism-9780192882837","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
