Product Information
From political sleaze and scandal to West End hits and the 'feel-good' factor, Michael Diamond explores the media stories that gripped Victorian society, in an age when newspapers became cheap, nationally distributed and easily accessible to all classes. Fully illustrated, and drawing on a wealth of original material, 'Victorian Sensation' sheds light on the Victorians' fascination with celebrity culture and their obsession with gruesome and explicit reportage of murders and sex scandals. With a vivid cast of characters, ranging from the serial poisoner William Palmer, to Charles Dickens, Jumbo the Elephant, distinguished politicians and even the Queen herself, this passionate analysis of the period reveals how the reporting methods of our own popular media have their origins in the Victorian press, and shows that sensation was as integral a part of society in the nineteenth century as it is today.

Reviews
This book is a great and not-to-be missed treat for anyone with an interest in Victorian cultural history.' Dickensian, 'This enthralling book shows that the Victorians revelled in political and sexual scandals, murder reports, and the antics of royalty, the upper classes and celebrities. Diamond tackles his theme with verve and skill.' -'Sunday Times', 'Entertaining... the newspapers were offering a glimpse into another kind of world, an assertion that people living not very far away from the reader had a very different, and probably more exciting, lifestyle.' -'Guardian', This enthralling book shows that the Victorians revelled in political and sexual scandals, murder reports, and the antics of royalty, the upper classes and celebrities. Diamond tackles his theme with verve and skill.' Sunday Times, 'This enthralling book shows that the Victorians revelled in political and sexual scandals, murder reports, and the antics of royalty, the upper classes and celebrities. Diamond tackles his theme with verve and skill.' --'Sunday Times', This book is a great and not-to-be missed treat for anyone with an interest in Victorian cultural history.' Dickensian, This enthralling book shows that the Victorians revelled in political and sexual scandals, murder reports, and the antics of royalty, the upper classes and celebrities. Diamond tackles his theme with verve and skill.' Sunday Times, Entertaining& the newspapers were offering a glimpse into another kind of world, an assertion that people living not very far away from the reader had a very different, and probably more exciting, lifestyle.' Guardian, 'This is a fun book. The reader is constantly thinking , "Ah that's what it was all about..." The book is well illustrated with the sort of ephemera of the period that is now so sought after, and there are many quotes from the music hall balladeers who were quick to latch on to each and every sensation as soon as it became hot news.' -'Bookdealer', '[Michael Diamond's] survey of 'the spectacular, the shocking and the scandalous in 19th-century Britain' gives a whole new meaning to those infamous Victorian values.' -- CNNMoney"Diamond's thorough analysis of Victorian sensations reveals how the economic incentive of making a profit compels the porducers of popular culture to repeat sacred mores in skeletal plots fleshed out with melodramatic current events and living exemplars of the evils of money...The author's knowledge of the the subject, extensive research, and colorful examples that include lively contemporary illustrations make Victorian Sensation valuable to historians, scholars of popular culture, and general readers who share Diamond's fascination with Victoriana." -- Journalism History"As in our own day, with the press's prolific growth in Victorian times, it turned to the infinite phenomena of popular culture to sustain itself. And as in our own day, this was tied in with the curiosity and voyeurism of the public for sensationalistic stories about crimes, celebrities, politicians, royalty and other public figures, including their scandalous sexual improprieties. Such stories found their way into public entertainment as well, primarily the stage. Diamond does not so much critique the Victorian press and stage, but goes into the cultural milieu for the stories and describes how they were treated in the press and in some cases on stage. In doing so, he brings the perspective of contemporary media studies and/cultural studies to his varied subjects. Dickens' 'Oliver Twist'...wouldhave been called a 'sensational novel', had the term existed then. If the names of the persons in the stories and their dates were changed, one would hardly be able to distinguish them from ones found in today's media. Diamond abundantly evidences that the public and the media it supported in the supposed straight-laced English Victorian culture was not essentially different from today's."--Midwest Book Review, Entertaininghellip; the newspapers were offering a glimpse into another kind of world, an assertion that people living not very far away from the reader had a very different, and probably more exciting, lifestyle.'
