This book takes seriously the late-Victorian periodical essay, treating it with the same formal care that another study might give to Thomas Hardy\u0092s poetry or Henry James\u0092s prose. It also attends to the essay\u0092s periodical context: advertisements, news, serial publication, material transience, and burying ubiquity. It challenges the distinction between \u0091serious\u0092 literature and mere \u0091articles\u0092 that appear in dailies, weeklies, and monthlies. And then it argues that, to understand the periodical essay between 1880 and 1920 is to understand the transitions of that period more clearly\u0097from belief to doubt, from country to city, from thick time to clock time. The periodical essay is implicated in all these transitions. In making this argument, this book makes special reference to three authors:\n\nThe Periodical Essay in Modernity\nOscar Wilde, G. K.
