Abstract:The nineteenth-century freethought movement championed atheist, agnostic, and secularist ideals alongside social radicalism more broadly. This article focuses on two of the periodicals that arose from this primarily working- and artisan-class movement: National Reformer (1860–93) and Secular Review/Agnostic Journal (1876–1907). Through debates, dialogues, and correspondence, the editors of and contributors to these weeklies demonstrated their commitment to open debate and honest enquiry as a tactic to overturn the dogmatism of religion and the unenlightened faith of believers. This article considers how dialogic forms enacted freethinking ideals, but it also identifies ways in which free debate could be more of an aspiration than a reality.

Abstract:The spoiler, a persistent concern of the internet age, has roots in the mid-nineteenth century during the dawn of new media. In the early 1860s, Wilkie Collins and Mary Elizabeth Braddon asked periodical reviewers not to reveal the plots of their novels. These requests elicited responses ranging from begrudging compliance to outright refusal. Not only had critics become accustomed to providing summaries, but they were also inclined to disparage sensation novels. Charles Dickens, whose plots were also revealed by reviewers, adjusted his approach in Our Mutual Friend, his final complete novel, by introducing a mystery that was easily solvable, allowing him both to attract the audience for sensation fiction and to disguise more significant social commentary.

Abstract:The Indian Ladies' Magazine, launched in 1901 under the editorship of Kamala Satthianadhan, quickly evolved into a platform where the future of Indian womanhood was fiercely debated. Publishing anonymous writers alongside household names like Sarojini Naidu, it made a crucial intervention in the ongoing conversation about the public and private roles of Indian women at a time when both colonial rule and patriarchal notions of domesticity were being unsettled. This essay focuses on Satthianadhan's editorial persona and the first run of the magazine (1901–18), arguing that this first iteration provided the editor and contributing authors a significant platform for advocating social reform, creating a community of readers, and fashioning the New Indian Woman.

Abstract:This essay considers the evolution of nineteenth-century fundraising verse in the British press by tracing how three noncombatant poets—Sir Walter Scott, Tom Taylor, and Rudyard Kipling—raised money for suffering soldiers and their families in the aftermath of Waterloo (1815) and Alma (1854) and during the early stages of the Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902). By investigating Romantic and Victorian poetic engagements with the contradictions between the conventions of representing war and the commercial enterprise of advertising charity funds, this essay sheds light on the complicated relationship between poetry, the press, and military crises during England's imperial conflicts.
