[Commlist] New book: Election Politics and the Mass Press in Long Edwardian Britain

Chris Shoop-Worrall is delighted that his first academic book is out in 
print (and ebook) with Routledge Focus. It may be of particular interest 
to historical scholars in this community, as well as anyone compiling 
any future reading lists:

/This book explores the ways in which the emergence of the ‘new’ daily 
mass press of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries 
represented a hugely significant period in histories of both the British 
press and the British political system./

//

/Drawing on a parallel analysis of election-time newspaper content and 
archived political correspondence, the author argues that the ‘new 
dailies’ were a welcome and vibrant addition to the mass political 
culture that existed in Britain prior to World War 1. Chapters explore 
the ways in which the three ‘new dailies’ – Mail, Express, and Mirror – 
represented political news during the four general elections of the 
period; how their content intersected with, and became a part of, the 
mass consumer culture of pre-Great War Britain; and the differing ways 
political parties reacted to this new press, and what those reactions 
said about broader political attitudes towards the worth of ‘mass’ 
political communication./

//

/This book will be of interest to students and scholars of media 
history, British popular politics, journalism history, and media studies./
