Nineteenth-century magazines and historical cultures in Britain and Germany : : exploratory notes on a comparative approach

Zusammenfassung: The rise of periodical literature is a hallmark of mid-nineteenth-century media culture. As has been shown before, the period's revolution on the print market was the result of advanced technologies coupled with increased literacy throughout the population. Since around 1850, the number of newspapers and magazines increased continually, and magazines soon came to serve all major and many minor societal interests, groups and institutions - from parties to confessions, and from landmark reforms to such special concerns as temperance or spiritualism. Britain was in the van of this development, with a proliferation and diversification of publications at first unmatched by countries on the Continent. However, with a slight delay, the output in Germany was also significant as the number of German mass-market periodicals grew continually and reached a high point in the years between 1850 and 1880 (cf. Stöber 2005: 266-269)
