Talkin' Socialism: J.A. Wayland and the Role of the Press in American Radicalism, 1890-1912

Front Cover
University Press of Kansas, 1988 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 280 pages
In this history of radical publishing at the turn of the century, Elliott Shore focuses on the Appeal to Reason, the flagship newspaper of J.A. Wayland's publishing empire. As modern periodical publishing came of age with the appearance of the first mass-circulation newspapers and magazines, so too did both populism and socialism in the US. They drew strength from the same factors - the advance of technology, spreading industrialisation, the growth and concentration of urban populations and rising literacy rates.
