The nineteenth century saw major developments in the fairy tale as a popular genre; it also witnessed dramatic changes in the cost and accessibility of print, resulting in an explosion of newspapers and magazines. The Victorian Press and the Fairy Tale will be the first book to focus on that dynamic relationship, arguing that the supposed 'golden age' of fairy tale and fantasy was intimately shaped by that magazine culture. My book will reveal that periodicals played a seminal role in establishing a canon of classic fairy tales, in spreading folktale scholarship, and in politicising and fostering new experiments with the genre. Whether used to grapple with the implications of Darwinism, to imagine a socialist utopia, or to engage with new aesthetic movements and strategies, the fairy tale played a central role in Victorian cultural debates. From Charles Kingsley to Keir Hardie, children's monthlies and socialist newspapers to avant-garde magazines, my book reveals the true complexity of that role, uncovering the fairy tale's appropriation for (and by) a range of forgotten readerships. This project uses publishing history to write a new history of the Victorian fairy tale, and challenges some key assumptions made in existing work on the genre.

19世纪见证了童话作为一种流行体裁的重大发展;它也见证了印刷成本和可及性的巨大变化，导致报纸和杂志的爆炸式增长。维多利亚出版社和童话将是第一本关注这种动态关系的书，认为童话和幻想的所谓“黄金时代”是由那种杂志文化密切塑造的。我的书将揭示期刊在建立经典童话的经典，传播民间故事学术，以及政治化和促进对该体裁的新实验方面发挥了开创性作用。无论是用来理解达尔文主义的含义，想象一个社会主义乌托邦，还是参与新的美学运动和战略，童话在维多利亚时代的文化辩论中发挥了核心作用。从查尔斯·金斯利（Charles Kingsley）到凯尔·哈迪（Keir Hardie），从儿童月刊、社会主义报纸到前卫杂志，我的书揭示了这一角色的真正复杂性，揭示了童话对一系列被遗忘的读者的挪用。这个项目使用出版历史来写一个新的历史的维多利亚童话，并挑战一些关键的假设，在现有的工作类型。
