Trollope and the Magazines examines the serial publication of several of Trollope's novels in the context of the gendered discourses in a range of Victorian magazines - including Cornhill, Good Words, Saint Pauls , and the Fortnightly Review . It highlights the importance of the periodical press in the literary culture of Victorian Britain, and argues that readers today need to engage with the lively cultural debates in the magazines, in order better to appreciate the complexity of Trollope's popular fiction.

The Victorian middle-class first encountered novelists such as Trollope, Dickens, and Thackeray in serialized rather than book form in 19th century magazines. Turner (English, Rochampton Institute, London) reads Trollope's fiction as it appeared in such influential periodicals as and Fortnightly Review/> in tandem with a critique of how they reflected cultural issues of the day, in particular the "Woman Question" and manliness. Contains several illustrations of magazine covers and advertisements. Appends a list of Trollop's works published or serialized while he was editor of the male-gendered (a role examined in a chapter entitled "The Editor as Predator"), and a vignette from (1890).
