The writings of Thomas De Quincey and Margaret Oliphant in Blackwood's Magazine reveal ways in which the perceived endangerment of style or rhetoric brought about by popular print redirected attention away from formal notions of classical rhetoric and opened the way for women writers to be shaped by as well as to reshape Victorian rhetoric.
