The End of Print
This Roundtable marks the beginning of a new era for the Journal of British Studies ( JBS ). Volume 63, issue 4, October 2024, was the last traditional issue printed on paper. No longer will members of the North American Conference on British Studies receive a bound volume quarterly in the mail. We fully understand that for many of our readers the end of print is emotionally wrought, and it constitutes a loss that is tangible and personal. We kno…
Paper
Paper represents a potent but underexplored keyword for Victorian studies today.

New Grub Street 's Ecologies of Paper
This essay argues that George Gissing's novel New Grub Street (1891)—long noted for its powerful, if gloomy, representation of late-Victorian authorship and publishing—not only presupposes but also critically incorporates the era's epochal transition from rag paper to paper made from harvested esparto grass and wood pulp. In Gissing's treatment of industrialized publishing, the trade in printed writing takes on central features of the thriving pa…

Cultural Capital and the Scene of Rioting
I N ITS VERY TITLE , Charles Kingsley’s 1850 novel Alton Locke, Tailor and Poet: An Autobiography hints at a set of questions that the novel itself never manages to answer in a very clear or convincing way: what is the relationship between manual and intellectual labor, between industrial and poetic production, between making a coat and writing a poem? How might the early Victorian imagination conceive of a working tailor who is also a working po…
