Book excerpt: Altick (English, Ohio State U.) systematically explores the first decade of the popular Victorian periodical, especially as it mirrored the interests and world view of its predominantly middle-class readership. He shows how the editorial and pictoral contents blended numerous streams of popular and middlebrow culture into a distinctive style of humor projected against historical evidence from the London Times and other contemporary documents.
