Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information The Nineteenth Century UK Periodicals project has its origins in consultations at the British Library in 2004, convened by Gale to discuss a follow up to the Eighteenth Century Collections Online project, a possible ‘online searchable facsimile library of the nineteenth-century book’. The British Library Newspapers project was already underway, to digitise more than two million pages of historic newspapers published in Britain between 1800 and 1900. Work had also begun on Nineteenth Century U.S. Newspapers, an ambitious project to digitise a range of representative newspapers from across the North American continent. The eventual outcome of those discussions, 19th Century UK Periodicals was undertaken in response to strong representations from scholarly communities on both sides of the Atlantic that access to the enormous range of nineteenth-century periodical literature would be an invaluable resource, unprecedented in its range and potential, and of interest to historians and students of nineteenth-century literature and culture, empire, feminism, the history of the book, the creative and performing arts, sport and leisure, science and medicine, the professions, in short, of all aspects of nineteenth-century life that the press encompassed. Part I: Women's, Children's, Humor and Leisure/Sport Nineteenth Century UK Periodicals, Part I: Women's, Children's, Humour, and Leisure covers British life in the Victorian age and the events, lifestyles, values, and ideas that shaped the world during this milestone period. This collection marks the advent of commercial lifestyle publishing in Britain and charts the rapid rise of modern magazine culture. Among the key themes are:
The first in the series Nineteenth Century UK Periodicals, Part I: Women's, Children's, Humour, and Leisure charts the rapid rise of publishing in a reading culture expanding through a rise in literacy and leisure and an explosion of sports and hobbies. The series acts as a barometer of literacy and social mobility in the 1800s with a particular focus on the underdocumented aspects of women, children, humor, and leisure activity in the Victorian age. It features the political spectrum of women's writing from Hearth and Home and the Women's Penny Paper, providing insight into women's changing status in the 1800s. Satirical and comic titles such as Punch and Figaro in London illustrate the humor of the period. Periodicals that helped shape the values of future empire builders, including Boy's Own and Good Words for the Young, chart the growth of children's entertainment and education. Titles like Baily's Monthly Magazine of Sports and Pastimes, and Racing Register track the explosion in sports and hobbies, from gardening to horse racing, cricket, cycling, and golf. This series draws from the remarkable collections of the British Library, National Library of Scotland, National Library of Australia, and National Library of South Africa. There are a wide variety of periodicals in New Readerships that reflect the changes and influences in political and rural life, children's literature, and leisure, such as:
Features:
Part II: Empire Nineteenth Century UK Periodicals, Part II: Empire turns its attention to the role Britain played beyond its own borders as an imperial power throughout the nineteenth century. Complete runs of 91 periodicals chart a century in which Britain extended its influence, reaching new heights of empire building. Sourced from the British Library, the National Library of Scotland, and the National Library of Australia, the collection contains periodicals from Australia, Canada, Ceylon, India, New Zealand, and South Africa. With over one million fully searchable pages of text, users can search for articles on the abolition of the slave trade within the British Empire in 1807, read about reports of the first Opium Wars (1839-42), measure the response to Queen Victoria's assumption of the title of Empress of India in 1876, and follow the European powers in their "scramble for Africa" in the 1880s and 1890s. The range of titles was selected by a team of more than twenty editors, headed by Professor Joanne Shattock at the University of Leicester. All the editors are specialists in the field of nineteenth-century studies, and the majority work in major academic institutions in the UK, including University College London, Cambridge University, and Royal Holloway. The editors chose periodicals to reflect the full range of colonial and post-colonial research interests: travel, literature, anthropology, social reform, philanthropy, politics, economics, and science. This is a truly interdisciplinary archive, with journalism covering every aspect of life in the empire, making it an invaluable resource for students and researchers of in nineteenth-century literature and culture, religion, empire, feminism, science, technology, and medicine.
