Full textAbstract:
Abstract Modern Korean newspapers played a decisive role in transforming the Korean fiction genre in the early twentieth century―a transformation that was carried out in two distinctively different cultural and political environments. In the 1900s, reform-minded Korean intellectuals translated and authored fictional works in newspapers primarily as a way to instigate Koreans to participate in the nation-building process during the Patriotic Enlightenment movement (Aeguk kyemong undong) period. When Japan annexed Korea in 1910, the Daily News (Maeil sinbo) continually used fiction as a vehicle to deliver the colonial government’s assimilation policy, that is, to raise Korea’s socioeconomic and cultural status, with the aim of civilizing the society. The rhetoric of civilization is a common feature in fictional works produced during the period. However, what characterized the works serialized in Maeil sinbo was their increasing focus on individual desire and domestic affairs, which manifested itself in the form of courtship and familial conflicts. The confrontation between private desire and family relationships in these fictional works represented the prospect of higher education and economic equity while invoking emotional responses to the contradictory social reality of colonial assimilation in the portrayal of domestic issues in fiction. Looking at Maeil sinbo and its serialization of fiction not as a fixed totality of the Japanese imperial force but as a discursive space where contradicting views on civilization were formed, this paper scrutinizes emotional renderings of individuality and domesticity reflected in Maeil sinbo’s serialized fiction in the early 1910s.

Full textAbstract:
To prevent boredom and restlessness during early Arctic and Antarctic over-wintering expeditions, leaders often encouraged ‘cultural’ activities, one of the most successful of which was the production of newspapers. Expedition members contributed poetry, short fiction, and literary criticism as well as scientific articles and accounts of their daily activities. These newspapers provide an important insight into the experiences and attitudes of the men who took part in the expeditions. In some cases, the newspaper would be published on the expedition's return, as a means of publicity, fund-raising, and memorialisation. The most famous example is the South Polar Times, the newspaper produced by Robert Falcon Scott's two expeditions. Other polar newspapers remain unpublished and unexamined. This article focuses on the Adelie Blizzard, the newspaper of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911–14, led by Douglas Mawson. Despite Mawson's efforts, the Adelie Blizzard was never published, and is rarely discussed in any detail in accounts of the expedition. The aim of this article is to address this neglect, by examining the genesis, production and attempted publication of the Adelie Blizzard.

Full textAbstract:
The occurrences of kill and killer are often understood as negative; however, evidence suggests that these words also have positive meanings. To many people, the use of kill and killer indicates physical death, but we found other meanings of these words. First, death is the worst possible outcome, but it is not necessarily a consequence of kill and killer. Second, killer, in particular, has a strong positive meaning that is extended from the ‘deadly’ meaning of kill. Third, we found that the figurative use of killer appeared more often in magazines and newspapers, as well as in fiction but with different purposes, when we compared the data from magazines and newspapers with those from different genres. The results obtained by analysing magazine and newspaper corpora in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) showed the importance of pragmatic interpretation in understanding meanings.

Full textAbstract:
The attempt to balance corpora with respect to their future usage led to the introduction of the termexpectations(Králík 2001b). On the bases of several statistical inquiries of such expectations, the textual structure ofSYN2000,which is the synchronic part of the Czech National Corpus (CNC), was proposed and realised. The present article explains the original composition briefly and discusses two new inquiries concerning expectations(A-2001andC-2001).Important corrections for future work on the CNC are suggested. The expectations concerning newspapers changed radically during 1996–2001. Within the same period, an obvious rise of interest in fiction can be detected. The reasons for these developments can be traced to trends in Czech society. Thus, we have proposed a considerable reduction in the proportion of newspaper texts and a large increase in the proportion of fiction texts. According to new searches, more detailed percentages for specific subject areas are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
This article argues that the novel was collateral damage in English law’s reaction to mass-market newspapers. A 1910 court decision made the writer’s intention irrelevant in libel cases. As a result, publishers became vulnerable to defamation suits from people unknown to a novelist but who happened to share a name with a fictional character. Drawing on the Society of Authors archive and the records of the Porter Committee on the Law of Defamation, the article reconstructs the campaign to exempt fiction from liability in cases of unintentional defamation.

Introduction. Newspapers and journals that published works of first national writers played a significant role in the formation of modern Xinjiang Oirat literature. The earliest attempts Xinjiang Oirats to establish a national newspaper — Ili Kundan Keln Sonin (‘Newspaper in the Language of Ili [Oirats]’) — date back to 1910. However, regular and mass publication of newspapers began only in the 1940s. The Urn Zokal (‘Fiction’) journal currently known as Öriyin Сolmon (‘Morning Star’) has been published since 1954. Goals. The article aims to show the role of the Öriyin Сolmon (‘Morning Star’) journal in the shaping and development of modern Oirat literature in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. Results. The journal has not only published works of ethnic Oirat writers from Xinjiang but also organized the literary process as such. The periodical has published the most famous folklore works and samples of old written Oirat literature for young writers to learn and master the classical literary language. The editorial team has regularly organized training summer schools and creative competitions. This process resulted in the tradition of holding literary conferences to celebrate publications of books, and the trend has survived till nowadays. Such events not only represent a new book but rather serve a platform for constructive discussions over the latter. Over time, the Öriyin Сolmon (‘Morning Star’) journal gave rise to another one — Kel ba Orculγa (‘Language and Translation’). As compared to other Mongolian-language newspapers and magazines published in Xinjiang, the Öriyin Сolmon (‘Morning Star’) journal remains a most popular and influential publication even nowadays.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the history of the formation of journalistic style. The text of the media in its existence is always associated with the coordinates of social space-time, which determine the time and place of its publication. Publicist texts currently operate in the communicative environment of the media and the Internet. It is customary to talk about the communicative environment of modern media. In addition to journalistic speech in the communicative environment, the media also functions with other types of utilitarian speech: advertising, public relations, and government relations. Journalistic style in its modern sense arises when journalism and utilitarianism are distinctly combined in one text. This claim requires confirmation on the basis of linguistic materials of Russian newspapers and journals of the eighteenth-twentieth centuries. The article analyzes the publications of Thaddeus Bulgarin’s newspaper “Northern Bee” — one of the most influential newspapers of the midnineteenth century. The newspaper did much to ensure that society in the twentieth century received influential printed media speech as one of the most significant achievements in the speech practice of society. Bulgarin anticipated the appearance of publications based on the speech concept of colloquialism. In the publications of “Northern Bee”, the beginning of the transition from syntagmatic prose to actualized, which only a few decades later began to appear in fiction, is well visible.

AbstractThis article explores how 13 mainstream newspapers in five countries (Norway, Sweden, BRD, DDR and UK) covered the first week of three high-profile spy affairs in the late Cold War: Arne Treholt (Norway), Geoffrey Prime (UK) and Günter Guillaume (BRD).The Eastern European newspapers followed in their governments’ footsteps and prolonged the politics of silence. In the West, newspapers framed the espionage using an issue-specific cultural frame, the traitor. Stories are spiced up by irrelevant and false facts, inspired by the spy stories in the fiction media. The traitor frame is constructed in two variations: the single spy betraying his country and the government forsaking its people by being “soft on the Soviets” or “careless about security”. The study indicates no significant differences in coverage between the four Western countries or between the three espionage affairs.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines various texts that were published in Mexican newspapers during the Revolution (1910-1917) and attempts to determine to what extent the authors of those texts combined journalism with literary creativity as they wrote about the Revolution. The main argument is that many of the texts that appeared in newspapers during the 1910s and covered topics related to the Revolution displayed language, style, and structural elements similar to those found in the official literary narratives of the Mexican Revolution that emerged in the 1920s. The argument is founded on the understanding that sociopolitical and ideological changes in Mexican society, as well as the desire for a new national literature, led intellectuals to re-classify some of the texts that appeared in newspapers in the 1910s from journalism to literary works and adopted their stylistic and thematic elements for the new literature. This is evident in Mariano Azuela’s novel, Los de Abajo and Ricardo Flores Magón’s well-known short stories “Dos revolucionarios” and “El apóstol.”
The theoretical framework of this study is informed by the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, Tzvetan Todorov, and Juan Carlos Parazuelos that contend that the value of a narrative changes continuously in response to changes in the society that creates it. Furthermore, the study utilizes Anibal Gonzalez’ notion that there is a gray area between literary narrative and journalism and, therefore, narratives that fall inside the borders of journalism and literature can be classified as one or another or both depending how they interact with social elites, governments, and political affiliations.
Finally, this study maintains that journalism, in combination with artistic expression, provided the foundations upon which the later narrative of the Revolution began its development. It was in the realm of journalism that the authors first applied the elements of brevity, direct speech, expressive, yet concise language, episodic narration, and emphasis on action over description and characterization that characterize the literature of the Mexican Revolution.

The newspaper was the main support for the circulation of writing and dissemination of literary work in nineteenth - century Brasil. In view of this finding, this research was developed with the objective of investigating the circulation and dissemination of prose fiction in the newspapers of São Luís and de Caxias, in the First Cycle of Literature in Maranhão (1832-1868), considering the Maranhão political-social context and the possibility of the formation of a Literary System of Maranhão, in this textual form, in order to know better the History of Reading and Literature, in this state, in the nineteenth century. It is a study in primary source, since newspapers were used; As well as bibliographical, since books, journals, theses, dissertations and articles were also searched, involving qualitative and critical-analytical procedures. The theoretical foundation is based on Cultural History, History of Brazilian Literature, History of Maranhão Literature, History of Reading and History of Newspapers. As for Cultural History, the notions of practice, appropriation and representation, studied by Roger Chartier (2001; 2002; 2004, 2005; 2011), were followed, according to which literary objects are studied as a result of the cultural practices of an era. For the History of Brazilian Literature, we take as reference the texts of Antonio Candido (2012), regarding the Brazilian literary context, in the nineteenth century. In relation to the History of Maranhão Literature, the main basis was the essay by Antônio dos Reis Carvalho (1912), who presents this literature by canonical bias; Followed by the study of Ricardo André Ferreira Martins (2009), about newspapers as sources of this literature, but also valuing the canon. On the History of Reading and the Newspapers, the ideas of Socorro de Fátima Pacífico Barbosa (2007, 2005, 2013), Márcia Abreu (2007), Marisa Lajolo and Regina Zilberman (1996) and Marlyse Meyer (2005) were used. Specifically, regarding the Maranhão newspapers, the main references were the studies of Joaquim Serra (2001) and Quincas Vilaneto (2008).
O jornal era o principal suporte de circulação do escrito e de divulgação do trabalho literário no Brasil do século XIX, em vista dessa constatação, foi desenvolvida esta pesquisa, com o objetivo de investigar a circulação e a divulgação da prosa de ficção, nos jornais de São Luís e de Caxias, no Primeiro Ciclo da Literatura no Maranhão (1832-1868), considerando o contexto político-social maranhense e a possibilidade da formação de um Sistema Literário do Maranhão, nessa forma textual, a fim de que se conheça melhor a História de Leitura e da Literatura, nesse estado, no século XIX. Trata-se de um estudo em fonte primária, visto que foram utilizados jornais; bem como bibliográfico, uma vez que foram também pesquisados livros, revistas, teses, dissertações e artigos, envolvendo os procedimentos qualitativos e crítico-analítico. A fundamentação teórica é pautada na História Cultural, História da Literatura Brasileira, História da Literatura Maranhense, História da Leitura e História dos Jornais. Quanto à História Cultural, foram seguidas as noções de prática, apropriação e representação, estudadas por Roger Chartier (2001; 2002; 2004, 2005; 2011), segundo as quais os objetos literários são estudados como resultado das práticas culturais de uma época. Para a História da Literatura Brasileira, tomamos como referencial os textos de Antonio Candido (2012), a respeito do contexto literário brasileiro, no século XIX. Em relação à História da Literatura Maranhense, a principal base foi o ensaio de Antônio dos Reis Carvalho (1912), que apresenta essa literatura pelo viés canônico; seguido pelo estudo de Ricardo André Ferreira Martins (2009), a respeito dos jornais como fontes dessa literatura, mas também valorizando o cânone. Sobre a História da Leitura e dos Jornais serviram de apoio as ideias de Socorro de Fátima Pacífico Barbosa (2007, 2005, 2013), Márcia Abreu (2007), Marisa Lajolo e Regina Zilberman (1996) e Marlyse Meyer (2005). Especificamente, a respeito dos jornais maranhenses, as principais referências foram os estudos de Joaquim Serra (2001) e de Quincas Vilaneto (2008).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis brings together eighteenth-century attitudes to the abduction of women portrayed by the law, by newspapers, and in fiction. I focus attention on the interest these different forms of narrative share in scrutinizing women’s behaviour and argue that the abduction plot is more important than its status as a stock literary convention would imply. Rather, it is a pliant, complex, and nuanced motif that allows writers the space to explore the difficult and contradictory position of women and attitudes to sexual relations. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part comprises two chapters that look at abduction from an historical perspective. The first chapter examines the legal context of abduction as a criminal act and the second chapter examines the social context of ‘abduction’ as a euphemism for a sexual adventure. This part includes preliminary analysis of abduction plots in Charlotte Smith’s Emmeline, the Orphan of the Castle (1788) and Ann Radcliffe’s The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne: A Highland Story (1789). The second part comprises three chapters in which I read a range of novels for their abduction plots and scenes. Chapter three focusses on reviewing and on lesser known novels that are not widely read today. It examines the uneasy dialogue between novels and the way they were conveyed to readers. I argue that reviewing presents a discourse of aggression towards women. Chapter four considers abduction plots in domestic fiction focussing on a short story from Eliza Haywood’s The Female Spectator (1744-46), Samuel Richardson’s The History of Sir Charles Grandison (1753-54), and Sarah Fielding’s The History of Ophelia (1760). Chapter five considers the gothic abduction plot in Frances Burney’s Camilla, or a Picture of Youth (1796), Charlotte Smith’s The Young Philosopher (1798) and Ann Radcliffe’s The Romance of the Forest (1791). I take an historicist approach and underpin my analysis of fictional abduction plots with newspaper research that suggests ‘abduction’ had a meaning in social and cultural discourse that associated it with gossip and innuendo. This research demonstrates that newspapers played an important role in establishing the ambiguity of ‘abduction’ in the public consciousness. I argue that this journalistic discourse contributed to the suppression of abduction as a violent crime that endangered women. I suggest that the introduction of comprehensive reviewing created the space for a discourse of aggression to flourish. Many reviews are short, pithy comments criticising a novel as derivative, badly written, and immoral. I argue that a series of reviews appearing on a single page gives the impression that violence towards women is a normal everyday occurrence and abduction is a familiar hazard on the road to domestic felicity. I conclude that ‘abduction’ is a porous term in which disparate ideas – sexual aggression, violent crime, and euphemistic social commentary – are held in tension with each other. This tension enables a complex interpretation of what at first appears to be a simple narrative of violent male aggression and female culpability. The ambiguity this tension creates reveals the abduction plot as a versatile motif that challenges the social hierarchy and posits an alternative narrative for women.

Full textAbstract:
No fim do século XIX, início do XX, começam a tomar forma grupos sociais nascidos das fímbrias de homens livres e pobres: são os remediados. Também denominados intermediários, esses grupos são os setores que migram para a cidade do Rio de Janeiro na passagem do século e iniciam o processo de ocupação das instituições do Estado. Ser remediado é condição suspensa, um estado indefinido cujas características, às vezes, só o próprio sujeito que se denomina como tal sabe quais são. Nesta tese, procuramos encontrar os remediados na literatura de Lima Barreto a fim de aproximar realidade de literatura: consideramos esta expressa aquela e contém as tensões históricas que cabem ao historiador explicitar. Para isso, recorremos à obra ficcional, às crônicas e aos artigos circunstanciais de Lima Barreto, cujas personagens foram selecionadas com base nessa situação de suspensão. Procuramos reconstruí-las e interpretá-las conforme a estrutura econômica, social e cultural do período. Lima Barreto foi um crítico desse processo, pois sua experiência histórica, de homem comum e escritor arguto oscilou nos limites entre ser pobre e remediado. Essa situação particular contribuiu para que o escritor percebesse as ideologias que enformavam a constituição desses grupos que circulavam na cidade do Rio de Janeiro.In the late nineteenth century, early twentieth, certain social groups born in the fringe of free and poor men the remediados (neither rich nor poor) started to be constituted. Also called intermediate groups, they are people who migrated to the city of Rio de Janeiro at the turn of the century and begun occupying the state institutions. Being in these groups is to be in an undecided condition, an undefined state whose characteristics sometimes are known only by those ones who are in such condition. In this work we try to find out theses groups in Lima Barretos literature to see the extent to which fiction converges to reality and vice versa. In so doing, we consider that fiction expresses reality and contains those historical tensions whose explicitness falls into the historian work. To do so, we recur to the Lima Barretos fictional work, his newspaper/magazine chronicles and his circumstantial articles. We have chosen his fictional characters based on that situation of undecidedness and searched to rebuild and interpret them according to the economical, social, and cultural structure at the time. Because of his historical experience of a common man and sharp writer oscillated between the limits of being neither poor nor rich, Lima Barreto criticized this process. This condition helped him to perceive the ideologies that gave shape to the constitution of those social groups who circulated in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores women’s writing and its place in the formation of female film culture in the British silent cinema era. The project focuses upon women’s literary engagement with silent cinema as generative of a female film culture, looking at materials such as fan letters, fan magazines, popular novels, short story papers, novelizations, critical journals and newspaper criticism. Exploring this diverse range of women’s cinema writing, the thesis seeks to make an original contribution to feminist film historiography. Focusing upon the mediations between different kinds of women’s cinema writing, the thesis poses key questions about how the feminist film historian weights original sources in the reclamation of silent female film culture, relative to the varying degrees of cultural authority with which different women commentated upon, reflected upon, and creatively responded to film culture. The thesis moves away from conceptualization of cinema audiences and reception practices based upon textual readings. Instead, the thesis focuses upon evidence of women’s original accounts of their cinemagoing practices (fan letters) and their critical (newspaper and journal criticism) and creative (fiction writers) responses to cinema’s place in women’s everyday lives. Balancing original archival research with multiple overarching methodological frameworks—drawing upon fan theory, feminist reception theory, audience studies, social history and cultural studies—the thesis is attentive to the diversity of women’s experiences of cinema culture, and the literary conduits through which they channeled these experiences. Shifting the recent focus in feminist silent film historiography away from the reclamation of lost filmmaking female pioneers and towards lost female audiences, the thesis thus constructs a nationally specific account of British women’s silent era cinema culture.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on a transformational but disregarded period in New Zealand’s twentieth century history, the era from the arrival of the Marines in 1942 to the arrival of Rock Around the Clock in 1956. It examines one of the chief agents in this metamorphosis: the impact of American culture. During this era the crucial conduits of that culture were movies, music and comics. The aims of my thesis are threefold: to explore how New Zealanders responded to this cultural trinity, determine the key features of their reactions and assess their significance.
The perceived modernity and alterity of Hollywood movies, musical genres such as swing, and the content and presentation of American comics and ‘pulps’, became the sources of heated debate during the midcentury. Many New Zealanders admired what they perceived as the exuberance, variety and style of such American media. They also applauded the willingness of the cultural triptych to appropriate visual, textual and musical forms and styles without respect for the traditional classifications of cultural merit. Such perceived standards were based on the privileged judgements of cultural arbiters drawn from members of New Zealand’s educational and civic elites. Key figures within these elites insisted that American culture was ‘low’, inferior and commodified, threatening the dominance of a sacrosanct, traditional ‘high’culture. Many of them also maintained that these American cultural imports endangered both the traditionally British nature of our cultural heritage, and New Zealand’s distinctively ‘British’ identity.
Many of these complaints enfolded deeper objections to American movies, music and literary forms exemplified by comics and pulps. Significant intellectual and civic figures portrayed these cultural modes as pernicious and malignant, because they were allegedly the product of malignant African-American, Jewish and capitalist sources, which threatened to poison the cultural and social values of New Zealanders, especially the young. In order to justify such attitudes, these influential cultural guardians portrayed the general public as an essentially immature, susceptible, unthinking and puritanical mass. Accordingly, this public, supposedly ignorant of the dangers posed by American culture, required the intervention and protection of members of this elite.
Responses to these potent expressions of American culture provide focal points which both illuminate and reflect wider social, political and ideological controversies within midcentury New Zealand. Not only were these reactions part of a process of comprehension and negotiation of new aesthetic styles and media modes. They also represent an arena of public and intellectual contention whose significance has been neglected or under-valued. New Zealanders’ attitudes towards the new cinematic, literary and musical elements of American culture occurred within a rich and revealing socio-political and ideological context. When we comment on that culture we reveal significant features of our own national and cultural selves.

The study includes an analysis of all the films and a chronological and thematic classification of the anarquiste filmography, in order to be able to establish its thematic and stylistic aspects. Finally, the dissertation also includes an evaluation of the interest and uniqueness of the films in relation to the total filmography produced during the Civil War.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the early decades of the twentieth century across the Indies, which saw major shifts in the public sphere, from experiments in fiction, publishing, and dramatic acting to unprecedented initiatives in associational activity and, in due course, revolutionary political action. It introduces the pioneering newspaperman Tirto Adhi Soerjo, who played a prominent role in the founding of the first mass movement in the Indies, the Sarekat Islam (SI), and his fellow journalist and SI activist Marco Kartodikromo. The chapter then highlights the first decades of the twentieth century, in which enterprising Europeans and Eurasian Indos, Hadhrami Arabs, and both totok and peranakan Chinese engaged in unprecedented initiatives in the realm of associational activity, founding modern schools and organizations that challenged established hierarchies of “traditional” education, authority, and identity among the small minority communities. The chapter also discusses the important consequences of reformist and revolutionary republican organizing efforts of the 1900s for the communities of the Chinese diaspora, especially in the Netherlands East Indies. Ultimately, the chapter investigates how the shift in the direction of labor mobilization, union organizing, and strike activity in the Indies in 1917–1918 coincided with developments around the world to encourage and inspire an escalation of social activism and political action by the SI in the late 1910s and early-mid 1920s.

Full textAbstract:
The nineteenth-century newspaper was a hybrid text, presenting both fact and fiction, often through reporting and the literary feuilleton respectively. The Siege of Paris upended daily life, making fact appear stranger than fiction, which led to a collapsing of the hybridity of newspapers, coalescing into one chronicle of the Siege. The press increasingly spread gossip dressed up as fact, fictionalized the news, and politicized fiction. Constantly rehashing and reframing the news, the press presented daily life itself as a departure from reality: the news itself became escapist.

It is unlikely that this book will attract screaming headlines from the tabloid newspapers. If it does, a typically misleading banner might read ‘Imagination, Yes—Knowledge, No.’ The first bit is fine, the second is wrong, but a hasty reading and the desire for a simple message may give rise to it. Hoping to avoid such mistakes I will briefly outline the project....

Full textAbstract:
While Benedict Anderson has argued that newspapers enable readers to imagine national community, Charles Dickens’s writings are attentive to the varying ways that the newspaper press might shape, inhibit, or fragment community through its uncontrolled production of miscellaneous content and matter. This first chapter shows the growing distinction that Dickens drew between fiction and nonfiction, novel and newspaper, in his communal visions for serial publication. Early Dickens characterised the newspaper press as a meteorological force of destruction, a thunderstorm threatening to engulf the city of London, yet continually produced to meet the endless public appetite for more news. Over the course of his career, Dickens experimented with other metaphors for the working of serial narrative and its influence on a reading public. From an intangible creature telling stories to a weaver at his loom, Dickens encourages readers to see the instance of a particular serial output linked to its larger structure over time. In doing so, he privileges the power of serial fiction to cultivate new ways of envisioning community.

This chapter focuses on the popular writing of the war, from the serial fiction of popular newspapers to the volumes of wartime non-fiction and fiction of Scottish writers such as Patrick MacGill, Ian Hay, Boyd Cable, and R. W. Campbell. The chapter will attempt to qualify the notion that popular war writing helped effect a separation between soldiers and civilians through its tendency to glamourise and sanitise war scenes and describe them in euphemistic terms. This chapter will argue there was, in fact, a considerable amount of realism and violence in popular war writing.

This chapter surveys the large body of Fitzgerald’s critical writing, only a fraction of which has been collected and is currently in print. This body of work includes more than fifty book, film and theatre reviews for Punch magazine, more than twenty essays on European art, literature and culture for World Review (the periodical that Fitzgerald co-edited in the early 1950s), and more than 200 reviews of fiction and biography in British and American newspapers, as well as introductions for books and editions, travel essays, art criticism, literary essays and journalistic sketches. The chapter considers the nature of Fitzgerald’s critical sympathies, priorities and tastes, and the marked stylistic continuities between her criticism and fiction. In particular, the chapter notes Fitzgerald’s fascination in her critical writing with what would become two of the most distinctive features of her own writing: a searching appreciation of the psychological and social interplay between fictional characters, and a prose style apparently without art.

Full textAbstract:
Jacob Nathaniel Raymer becomes a self-appointed journalist of the war: “All I promise is an account of what came under my immediate observation, and such incidents as I can prove to be actual facts.” Like other rebel reporters, he is a soldier, but unlike them he does not indulge in pro-Confederacy propaganda. His “letters” from nearly every major battle in the east are widely printed in newspapers across the state. On the U.S. side, 500 professional correspondents cover the war, often distorting or sensationalizing it to attract more readers. The newspaper version of the war on both sides becomes as much fiction as reporting. In a time when neither army notifies the next of kin of dead or wounded soldiers, Raymer faithfully accounts for every fallen soldier he can, providing a valuable service to both the soldiers and their families.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing largely on short stories of the 1890s and 1900s, this essay examines Richard Marsh's many similarities and connections with late-Victorian newspapers, particularly the tabloid press typified by George Purkess's Illustrated Police News. It argues that Marsh used the direct and accessible language of popular journalism to clothe his outlandish sensation fiction in the trappings of believability, while at the same time exploiting the literary possibilities of the news itself, notably in his responses to the infamous Jack the Ripper murders in Whitechapel in 1888 in stories such as 'The adventure of the phonograph' (Curios, 1898) and 'A member of the Anti-Tobacco League' (Under One Flag, 1906).
