Thesis (Ph.D.)--Vanderbilt University, 1998.

This study explores the ways in which commentators in late-Victorian and Edwardian Britain understood the role of the press, which was the most important medium of mass-communication during that period. One of the goals of this study is to combat the tendency for press history to become an isolated sub-field; accordingly, this dissertation is situated within a wide range of political and social historiography. On the one hand, it traces the supercession of an "educational" ideal that posited the creation of an increasingly inclusive politics of public discussion, by a "representative" ideal in which the press was held to speak on readers' behalf, to ensure that their interests and desires were addressed by the politicians. The latter ideal derived in part from an unease with an emerging "mass society", and an increasing reluctance to attribute rationality to all readers, or to entrust them with political discussion. On the other hand, this study examines the portrayals and self-portrayals of journalists themselves, arguing that various images, from the earlier "man of letters" to the later "professional", served as strategies for asserting the journalist's authority within the public sphere. The earlier image held out greater promise of a journalistic public sphere open to all comers, whereas the later image, which failed to gain widespread allegiance among journalists, served as an attempt to restrict access to the production of political argument.
