Summary An unprecedented number of emigrants left Britain to settle in America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand during the Victorian period. Utilising new digital resources and methodologies alongside more traditional modes of scholarship, this work examines the periodical print culture that imagined, mediated and galvanised this important stage of empire history. It presents extensive new research on how settler emigration was registered within Victorian periodicals and situates its focus on British texts and contexts within a broader, transnational framework, arguing that the Victorian periodical was an inherently mobile form which had an unrivalled capacity to both register mass settler emigration and moderate its disruptive potential.
