Dr James Mussell
University of Leeds
James Mussell is Associate Professor of Victorian Literature at the University of Leeds and Director of the Centre for the Comparative History of Print (Centre CHoP). Jim is interested in all aspects of Victorian print culture. His first book, Science, Time and Space in the Late Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press (2007) looked at the way science featured in periodical publications of various kinds, as well as the way these publications structured science. His second, The Nineteenth-Century Press in the Digital Age (2012) considered how newspapers and periodicals are transformed through digitization. He is currently working on a new book, Whispers of Print, which offers an account of nineteenth-century print culture through the figure of the secret. Jim blogs at jimmussell.com and is on Twitter @jimmussell.
