Literary journalism is a rich field of study that has played an important role in the creation of the English and American literary canons. In this original and engaging study, Doug Underwood focuses on the many notable journalists-turned-novelists found at the margins of fact and fiction since the early eighteenth century, when the novel and the commercial periodical began to emerge as powerful cultural forces. Writers from both sides of the Atlantic are discussed, from Daniel Defoe to Charles Dickens, and from Mark Twain to Joan Didion. Underwood shows how many literary reputations are built on journalistic foundations of research and reporting, and how this impacts on questions of realism and authenticity throughout the work of many canonical authors. This book will be of great interest to researchers and students of British and American literature.

Kniha „Podoby české literární reportáže“ představuje pokus o zmapování žánru české reportáže. V úvodní části autor aplikuje literárněvědné metody vytvořené pro analýzu fabulované prózy na reportáž a zkoumá, zda a nakolik reportáž v těchto kritériích obstojí. Práce se v dílčích sondách zaměřuje na klíčové osobnosti a fenomény ve vývoji česky psané reportáže od antecedence žánru v 19. století přes vrcholný rozkvět ve třicátých a na začátku čtyřicátých let 20. století až do let osmdesátých. Na těchto příkladech se snaží přiblížit inspirující a omezující vlivy literárního a zejména společenského vývoje, které na reportáž v českých zemích působily. Těžiště práce spočívá ve snaze ukázat, jak jednotlivé tvůrčí osobnosti, ve svém autorském typu velmi rozdílné, na rozvoj i omezování možností reportáže svým dílem reagovaly. Důraz je přitom položen na postižení pestrosti a různorodosti tvárných postupů a podob, jež v důsledku toho česká reportáž vytvořila.

Nora Berning grasps the narrative potential of journalistic reportages via a set of narratological categories. Spurred by an interdisciplinary framework, she builds on transgeneric narratological research and shows that journalistic reportages can be described, analyzed, and charted with categories that originate in structuralist narratology. The author spells out minimal criteria for particular types of reportages, and challenges the argument that journalism and literature have distinct, non-overlapping communicative goals. By showing that the reportage is a hybrid text type that seeks to inform, educate, and entertain, this study advances a re-conceptualization of journalism and literature as two fields with permeable borders. The book is written for researchers and students in the fields of journalism, media, communications, and literary theory.

Latin American Adventures in Literary Journalism explores the central role of narrative journalism in the formation of national identities in Latin America, and the concomitant role the genre had in the consolidation of the idea of Latin America as a supra-national entity. This work discusses the impact that the form had in the creation of an original Latin American literature during six historical moments. Beginning in the 1840s and ending in the 1970s, Calvi connects the evolution of literary journalism with the consolidation of Latin America's literary sphere, the professional practice of journalism, the development of the modern mass media, and the establishment of nation-states in the region.

“At the heart of Willa McDonald’s new text is an enthralling debate about what constitutes literary journalism…But she is careful always to place this debate … in its historical context—after all definitions can change overtime … Alongside the historical narrative goes an impressive attention to specific events and characters… McDonald is also able to blend an attention to broad literary trends with, at times, an impressive, critical analysis of specific texts.”   - Richard Lance Keeble, Professor of Journalism, University of Lincoln, UK "A compelling and elegant cultural history of Australian literary journalism ranging from the violent frontier to bustling towns and cities. Willa McDonald shows how colonial storytelling in reports, sketches, memoirs, journals and letters helped to advance the British imperial project, build a nation, and engage with the world." - Bridget Griffen-Foley, Professor of Media, Macquarie University, Australia This book traces the beginnings of literary (narrative) journalism in Australia. It contributes to evolving international definitions of the form, while providing a glimpse into Australia’s early press history and development as a nation. The book comprises two parts. The first examines the forerunners of literary journalism before and during the establishment of a free press, including the letters, diaries and journals of the early colonists, as well as sketches published in the first magazines and newspapers. The book asks if these were “reporting” when there was no thriving press until well into the 19th century -- many were written by women and convicts whose voices otherwise went unheard. The second part examines the first expressions of literary journalism in forms more recognisable today, covering topics as varied as homelessness in Melbourne, the Queensland trade in Pacific Islander labour, and Australia’s involvement in overseas wars, particularly the Boer War. The resulting cultural history reveals important milestones in the development of Australia’s press and literature, while demonstrating the concerns unveiled in colonial literary journalism still resonate in Australia in the 21st century. Willa McDonald teaches and researches literary journalism and creative non-fiction writing at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. A former journalist, she is co-editor of Palgrave Macmillan’s Literary Journalism series. .
