This volume explores the nascent subfield where information and media theory intersect with literary and Victorian studies. By looking closely at the relationship between media and Empire in the nineteenth-century imagination, Worth illustrates how Victorians used technology of the day (radio, telegraph, telephone, and photography) to think as well as to receive and disseminate information. His focus on the interrelationship between Victorian fiction, media, and Empire is what sets his project apart from earlier books on the what is now called literary media studies.
