Aggressive policy, enthusiastic news coverage and sensational novelistic style combined to create a distinctive image of Britain’s Empire in late-Victorian print media. The New Journalism, the New Imperialism and the Fiction of Empire, 1870-1900 traces this phenomenon through the work of editors, special correspondents and authors.
