Abstract:This article uncovers the hidden periodical publishing history of the popular novelist Marie Corelli (ca. 1855–1924). It takes her career back a decade from what is currently known, unveiling poetry, satire, critiques, and short form writing. Corelli is shown to be navigating the periodical press through the 1870s and 1880s whilst using several pseudonyms and taking on male identities, conducting her own literary apprenticeship and experimenting with form, genre, and style. This article explores how Corelli learned her trade via the periodical press but then hid the secret of her success from others, thus impeding those who might follow in her footsteps.

Abstract:To Victorian prescriptivists writing for the periodical press, slang threatened the sanctity of the English language. While their complaint texts criticize slang as lower-class vulgarity, this language policing also fixates on the slang vocabularies of female speakers. By tracing three gender-based language ideologies expressed in Victorian periodicals—that women learn slang from men, that slang corrupts womanliness, and that slang is symptomatic of the feminist movement—this essay explores how Victorians denounced vulgar speech as a masculine act associated with the New Woman and nonconformist gender performance at the fin de siècle.

Abstract:This article investigates descriptions of the Scottish landscape in travel writing and tourism advertisements published in Tait's Edinburgh Magazine and Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine from 1800 to 1900. Its main objective is to analyze the ways in which periodical nature writing simultaneously created a vicarious interaction with the countryside for the reader and revealed the effects that increased human presence had on the land. The essay shows how the creation of landscape narratives without a distinct narrator came to contribute to the interplay between the mythologized, untouched Scottish countryside and the physical land that was steadily changing as a result of human interference.

Abstract:In 1874, Prannath Dutta published the satirical periodical Basantak to undermine obscenity laws and caricature the rational, militant masculinity of British administrators by depicting them as venal and incompetent to administer British India. Basantak's farces draw on various Indian literary and visual forms and genres. The jester-like omniscient narrator called Basantak—modeled after the cultivated iconoclast, Mr. Punch—displays an all-consuming cynicism. This article examines various imagetextual narratives, caricatures, and cartoons of British officials Stuart Hogg, Richard Temple, and Robert Phayre through which Basantak lampoons not only the childlike Englishmen but also their inane laws.

Abstract:Historical research on how people have come to identify as part of "the people" as a political collective has not paid much attention to the development of a market for visual news. To show how this market might have shaped political subjectivity, this essay analyses how magazines like the Illustrated London News, L'Illustration, and the Illustrirte Zeitung created a standardized pictorial language for depicting multitudes as political actors. It argues that this language was closely tied to the affordances of the magazines as periodicals, especially their ability to link images serially, and promoted a detached way of seeing popular mobilisation.
摘要:关于人们如何认同作为政治集体的“人民”的一部分的历史研究，并没有关注视觉新闻市场的发展。为了展示这个市场是如何塑造政治主体性的，本文分析了《伦敦新闻画报》(Illustrated London News)、《插画》(L’illustration)和《画报》(illustrite Zeitung)等杂志是如何创造出一种标准化的图片语言，将大众描绘成政治角色的。它认为，这种语言与杂志作为期刊的功能密切相关，特别是它们将图像串联起来的能力，并促进了一种看到大众动员的超然方式。
