Abstract

This chapter traces Mill's reputation in the newspaper and periodical press in the his ‘afterlife’: the period between the posthumous publication of his Three Essays on Religion (1879) and his final book, Chapters on Socialism (1879). This period saw a decisive narrowing in the range and breadth of Mill's appeal, but not the rapid fall from favour that is often assumed. Questions of religion, character, and politics were multi‐layered and interrelated, and combined to leave posterity with a diminished and distorted image of Mill that endures to this day.
