The Journal of Victorian Culture Online website is staging a Bloggers Fair this month.
Each day a new blog is featured; the author reflects on its content and discusses
their motive(s) for writing. So far,
Rohan Maitzen’s Novel Readings and
Mark Blacklock’s The Fairyland of Geometry have enjoyed the spotlight, as has Looking Glasses At Odd Corners.

social media will be published (and made open access). This article will, I
hope, help to contextualise JVC's Bloggers Fair by exploring the processes, purposes and motives at work in the Victorian (and
neo-Victorian) blogosphere.
I will update the following list as the Bloggers Fair progresses:
