- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph of 90,000 words demonstrates sustained research effort over a period of six years incorporating breadth (Britain and Australia 1800-1860) and depth (reconstruction of daily nineteenth-century publishing practices). Based on historical detective work as well as literary analysis it required the discovery, collection and sustained analysis of a large body of material about London and Melbourne alongside literary texts: maps, images, plans, biographies, letters, reports, Old Bailey proceedings, historical accounts, post office directories, parish records, newspapers, periodicals, playbills, etc.. It presents a new argument and a new methodology for literary study which required a lengthy period of intellectual labour.
