Facts and Fictions - Discoveries in Periodicals 1720-1820

This volume is designed to support investigations into British magazine literature of the 18th and early 19th century, and the study of serials in general.

Dr Pitcher provides substantial lists of emendations to published checklists relevant to the field.

Also, he has given not only 50 case histories to introduce authors who were published extensively in the magazines, but also compiled an index of principal works by many of the 18th-century essayists who followed Addison and Steele.
