Résumé
This e-Rea issue focuses on Victorian and modernist writers’ literary essays that were initially published in periodicals, and subsequently republished or forgotten. The aim is to reconsider these essays in the context of easily discarded media and see how this affected their meaning, compared to later republications; or to unearth forgotten essays by influential writers of the time. This should firstly bring a modest contribution to a tentative history of the genre and definition of its characteristics and, secondly, help to study the transition between the Victorian periodical essay and its modernist counterpart.
