Description

In this work about the precursor to the comic book, Kelly Boyd traces the evolution of the boy's story paper and its impact on the imaginative world of working-class readers. From the penny dreadful and the "Boy's Own Paper" to the tales of Billy Bunter and Sexton Blake, this cultural form shaped ideas about gender, race, class and empire in response to social change.

Author Biography:
