THE RACK AND THE PRESS

 

The oscholars review of journals covering late Victorian literary history

 

Second series No. 29 :  November 2010

 « More than half of modern culture depends upon what one should not read  »

 

This page is edited and developed by B.J. Robinson, Professor of English at North Georgia College & State University and Director, University Press of North Georgia.  Please contact Professor Robinson with any suggestions or corrections for inclusion @.

 

This is a survey – necessarily incomplete, but growing, of the journals for our period, with special attention drawn to articles that fall within our general themes.  At least one new journal is added each month, and the entries are kept up to date.  Until November 2007, the survey was published in our section ‘Publications’, within THE OSCHOLARS.  The continued reconstruction of our website suggested this new free-standing page, and the editorship of Professor Robinson continues this process.  Theatre journals are chiefly covered in http://www.oscholars.com/TO/Rack/rack_files/image008.jpg; visual arts journals in VISIONS http://www.oscholars.com/TO/Rack/rack_files/image010.jpg.

 

French journals are covered more fully in our sister publication Rue des beaux arts, the bimestrial bulletin of the Société Oscar Wilde en France, which can be reached via our hub page.  This does not preclude notice here.

In its new format, it will be published twice annually in May and November.  The Table of Contents currently on line is that for Volume 14, No 2 (2009).  Included in this issue is Wendy Parkins's ‘Trust Your Senses?  An Introduction to the Victorian Sensorium.’

The Cambridge Quarterly

 

CQThe Cambridge Quarterly was established on, and remains committed to, the principle that literature is an art, and that the purpose of art is to give pleasure and enlightenment. The journal devotes itself principally to literary criticism and its fundamental aim to take a critical look at accepted views. The Cambridge Quarterly also regularly publishes articles on music, cinema, painting, and sculpture, and endows a prize for, and publishes, the best Cambridge University Finals dissertation each year.  Four issues are published each year, the current one being Volume 39 Issue 3, September 2010.  One can view this issue by clicking the illustration.  It contains nothing of especial interest to the fin-de-siècle scholar.

Cercles

 

Cercles (‘revue pluridisciplinaire du monde anglophone’) welcomes articles on the social and cultural practices of the English-speaking world: literature, linguistics, history, politics, sociology, anthropology, æsthetics… It offers a variety of perspectives, involving gender, ethnicity, ideology, and theory.  We encourage submissions in English and French, but also any other language, provided a translation is submitted in either French or English.

Clues

 

CLUES: A Journal of Detection, an academic journal on mystery and detective fiction, is now under the new ownership of scholarly publisher McFarland & Co. in North Carolina. Their current issue is Volume 28, no. 2 (2010), containing the following articles of especial interest to fin-de-siècle scholars:

 

·         Clare Clark's “Horace Dorrington, Criminal-Detective: Investigating the Re-Emergence of the Rogue in Arthur Morrison's The Dorrington Deed-Box (1897)” arguing that “as Dorrington is both a detective and a criminal, and the victim is narrator, the stories subvert the usual reassuring moral and formal conventions of the late-Victorian detective genre;”

 

·         Hilary A. Goldsmith's “Darwin and the Detective: Aspects of the “Darwinian Worldview and the Sherlock Holmes Stories of Arthur Conan Doyle,” suggesting “ways in which the Sherlock Holmes adventures aided the assimilation of evolutionary theory into late-Victorian thought;”

 

·         Lisanne Sauerwald's “Daniil Kharms and Sherlock Holmes: Between Imitation and Deconstruction,” showing “how Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes made his way into Russian absurd literature.”

 

Further details about the journal are available on its website.

Comedy Studies

 

This journal publishes work on multiple aspects of comedy, with articles about both contemporary and historical comedy, interviews with practicing comedians and writers, reviews, letters and editorials. It seeks to be instrumental in creating interdisciplinary discourse about the nature and practice of comedy, providing a forum for the disparate voices of comedians, academics, and writers. In this way, the journal aims to be the first step in the creation of a community committed to the promotion, documentation and expansion of the field of comedy studies.

 

Sample themes might include Ancient Greek theatre, the relation of comedy and food and comedy and gender. Another interest would be the role of comedy in therapy; in medical circles comedy is being incorporated into the healing process and professionals are beginning to develop methods of using laughter to deal with physical and psychological problems. The journal is also intent on investigating historical attempts to analyse comedy, from Aristotle to Freud. Finally, it aims to create links between the growing number of university departments who offer specialist units or courses in comedy in the UK and abroad.

 

Comedy Studies invites contributions from researchers and practitioners throughout the world seeking to analyse all aspects of comedy, laughter and joking. Some proposed topics are:

 

•Contemporary performance aspects in comedy
•Comedy and gender
•Comedy and therapy
•The comedy foreigner
•Comedy in political life

 

Suggested length for articles submitted is 4,000-5,000 words.  We include notice of this new journal for its potential to examine Oscar Wilde's comedic writing.  Their current issue, Volume 1, Issue 2, contains nothing of especial interest to the fin-de-siècle scholar.

Consciousness, Literature and the Arts

 

This refereed, Internet-based journal is hosted by the University of Lincoln : click here.  The current issue, Volume 11, Number 2, August 2010, contains nothing of interest to fin-de-siècle scholars.

 

Submissions, enquiries and finished material, no longer than 10,000 words excluding bibliography, welcome any time, via email attachment to or via ordinary mail (hardcopy and disk, IBM format, preferably in Word) to be sent to Daniel Meyer-Dinkgräfe (Professor of Drama, Lincoln School of Performing Arts, LPAC Building, University of Lincoln, Lincoln LN6 7TS, England).

Dix-Neuf

 

‘Dix-Neuf’ is the journal of the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes, a British association of historians of nineteenth century France, or, in its own words ‘a forum for cutting-edge research in nineteenth-century French and francophone studies in all relevant disciplines. It is interdisciplinary in focus and seeks to promote wide-ranging critical and theoretical debate’.  It is published in April and October and the Table of Contents for No. 12, April 2009 is available on its website.  Included in this issue are Fanny Déchanet-Platz’s ‘Hypermnésie onirique: du souvenir de rêve aux troubles de la personnalité chez Nerval (Sylvie, Aurélia) et Huysmans (En rade)’ and Jean-François Fournier’s ‘Baudelaire et le rire de l’enfance’.

English Literature in Transition

 

Long ago in one of our bibliographical excursions we listed the articles on Wilde that had appeared in ELT up to that time.  This has been updated in our Bibliographies section.   We are now monitoring ELT regularly.  We are pleased to report that Wilde is one of the four writers featured on its newly redesigned home page.  More information on ELT can be found at www.uncg.edu/eng/elt/.  (ELT’s indices are searchable online).  It should not be confused with English Language in Transition, which is principally a pedagogic journal devoted to the teaching of English as a foreign language.  The latest issues are Vol 53 Nos 3 & 4.  We are pleased to note ELT’s successful move to online publishing, in addition to its print presence.  Robert Langenfeld, Editor of ELT and Director of ELT Press writes about this development in the 52.1 (2009) Editor’s Fence.

Equinoxes

 

Equinoxes is an electronic journal committed to academic excellence and creative scholarship published twice yearly by the graduate students of Brown University’s Department of French Studies in conjunction with its annual conference, a tradition since 1993. Intended as a forum for exchange among graduate students in French & Francophone Studies and related fields, Equinoxes publishes scholarly articles in both French and English, as well as book reviews, interviews, commentaries on the field, short fiction, poetry and translations. In the interest of promoting dialogue across periods and genres, each issue is designed around a proposed theme. However, the journal also maintains an ‘open’ space for quality writing that falls under any of the above-mentioned categories, regardless of its subject  Their latest issue is No. 12 Spring/Summer 2009 containing Mathilde Labbé’s article « Baudelaire de la critique au marketing: apport des corpus non littéraires à l’étude de la réception des œuvres littéraires. »  Equinoxes can be found by clicking the banner.

European Journal of English Studies

 

The European Journal of English Studies has been relaunched with a new publisher, editorial team, and editorial policy. EJES presents work of the highest quality in English literature, linguistics and cultural studies from the multidisciplinary and multicultural perspective that characterises the study of English in Europe. The aim of the journal is to publish substantial scholarly and critical interventions in a fast-developing field. A research journal, written by and for specialists from all parts of the disciplinary spectrum of English Studies in Europe and beyond, EJES is also addressed to the increasing number of academics interested in the dialogical and plurivocal development of their subject or who teach outside their own area of expertise. To this end, it also offers non-specialists examples of recent approaches and new ways of engaging the field of English studies. The journal places a high premium on readability, discussion of controversial issues and the inclusion of a wide range of perspectives. EJES appears three times a year. Individual issues are devoted to specific themes but include a section devoted to interventions on timely ‘key issues’ in English Studies in Europe and beyond.  A substantial book review section keeps readers informed about new publications in the field, particularly where these challenge existing assumptions, or offer to make a difference to the practice of the discipline.

 

The current issue, Volume 14, issue 2 2010, is a special issue on 'Crime Narrative: Crossing Cultures and Disciplines' and contains nothing of especial interest to the fin-de-siècle scholar.  They have issued calls for papers on ‘Cultural Histories’ (Volume 4, issue 3).

Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television

 

The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television is an interdisciplinary journal concerned with the evidence produced by the mass media for historians and social scientists, and with the impact of mass communications on the political and social history of the twentieth century.

 

The needs of those engaged in research and teaching are served by scholarly articles, book reviews and by archival reports concerned with the preservation and availability of records. The journal also reviews films, television and radio programmes of historical or educational importance. In addition, it aims to provide a survey of developments in the teaching of history and social science courses which involve the use of film and broadcast materials. It is the official journal of the International Association for Media and History (IAMHIST), and is supported by the College of Arts and Sciences, Louisiana State University.

 

Its current issue, Volume 30, issue 3 2010, on Internationalising Australian Media History, contains nothing of especial interest to fin-de-siècle scholars.

Ibsen Studies

 

Ibsen Studies is the only international journal devoted to Henrik Ibsen, and is therefore a central publication both for Ibsen researchers the world over and for those with a more general interest in the author and his life's work.

 

Ibsen Studies is a forum for debate and critique for all those who work within the extensive field of research into the work of Henrik Ibsen.  The journal is cross-disciplinary in nature, with contributions from literary researchers, historians and those involved in theatre.  The journal also includes reviews of current Ibsen-related literature, and a separate section for Ibsen-related events.

 

The current journal has evolved from previous publications started in the 1950s, Ibsen's Annual and Contemporary Approaches to Ibsen.  Today, the journal is published biannually in co-operation with the Centre for Ibsen Studies, University of Oslo, Norway.

ImageTexT

 

ImageTexT is a peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of comics and related media. Published by the English Department at the University of Florida with support from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; its content is available free of charge, and regular issues of ImageTexT will be published three times per year at this site: http://www.english.ufl.edu/imagetext/.  We recommend this journal because of the strong interest in late Victorian literature shown in current graphic novels. The current issue, Volume 5 issue 3: Convergences: Comics, Culture, and Globalization, contains Philip Nel's review of Sabrina Jones's Isadora Duncan: A Graphic Biography.

 

Walton Wood writes: [ImageText has] a fairly large collection of Victorian comics & visual texts thanks to Sol and Penny Davidson: http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/spec/comics/davidson_coll.html ... This collection, coupled with a large number of graduate students studying children’s literature, comics, and Victorianism (either singularly or in conjunction), as well as a few professors working in those fields, has ... yielded several relevant articles peppered throughout previous issues ...

 

Particular note is due to Issue 2 of Volume 3, dedicated to William Blake and visual culture: http://www.english.ufl.edu/imagetext/archives/v3_2/ . It's not Victorian, strictly speaking, but is closely contiguous.

 

This past year’s Comics and Graphic Novels Conference proceedings will be going online sometime soon, and among them should be a paper by David Kunzle about Rodolphe Topffer, a 19th century cartoonist.  Also included will be a paper by Jackie Amorim, a graduate student working with Pamela Gilbert, about gender & race in 19th century serialized Cuban tobacco lithographs.

In-between

 

In-between is an open Journal, edited by Gulshan Taneja, which carries essays and book reviews on a wide variety of areas of academic interest.  Essays–peer-reviewed–can focus on subjects ranging from Beowulf to Beckett and beyond, though the largest number of articles on a single author so far has been on Wilde in six different issues.  A bibliography of these is published in the BIBLIOGRAPHIES section of THE OSCHOLARS.  Books being reviewed should not have been published before the previous calendar year.  Review copies are generally made available, if required and requested well in time.

 

In-between prefers British spelling, single quotation marks and outside punctuation, and footnotes rather than endnotes. Please submit both an electronic copy and a hard copy by airmail; also, a hard copy c.v., and a hundred word note for the contributors’ column.

 

Gulshan Taneja, Editor, in-between@rediff.com. English Department, RLA College, University of Delhi, New Delhi-110021, India.

 

A comprehensive index to volumes 1 to 15 (1992-2006) is appended to the September issue of volume 15.  The current volume 17, focusing on Shakespeare, contains nothing of interest to the fin-de-siècle scholar.

Intellectual History Review

 

Intellectual History Review is the journal of the International Society for Intellectual History, created in 1994 to foster communication and interaction among the international community of intellectual historians and scholars working in related fields.  As agreed upon at its founding, the Society will make no attempt to define intellectual history as having only one approach.  The Society therefore invites membership from scholars working in such diverse fields as art and music, religion and literature, philosophy, politics, and the sciences.  The goal of the Society is two-fold: to bring together scholars working in the field of intellectual history and in related fields; and to provide this international community of scholars with a forum for debating and discussing various approaches to the study of intellectual history.

 

The journal, published for the Society by Routledge, three times a year from 2007 and four times a year starting 2010,, is edited by Professor Stephen Clucas of Birkbeck College, University of London, and Prof. Stephen Gaukroger of University of Sydney. Further information can be found by visiting the Routledge website.

 

Tables of Contents can be found on the Society’s website, the current issue being Volume 20 Issue 3, 2010, but this contains nothing of especial interest to fin-de-siècle scholars.  Click the banner.

The International Literary Quarterly

 

The International Literary Quarterly, a literary e-zine founded by Peter Robertson, takes an international perspective in publishing contemporary literature; so far, it has published works in over 82 languages. While publishing mainly contemporary work, it does include among its contributors and consulting editors literary historians and therefore may be of interest to fin-de-siècle scholars.

 

Its current issue 12 is available at this website: http://www.interlitq.org/index.php

The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era

 

The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal published quarterly by the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era with the joint sponsorship and support of the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center.  The Journal publishes original essays and reviews scholarly books on all aspects of U.S. history for the time period from 1865 through 1920.

 

The editor is Alan Lessoff, Professor of History, Illinois State University. Associate Editor Scott Nelson is Associate Professor of History at the College of William and Mary.  The book review editor is Nancy C. Unger, Associate Professor of History and Women’s and Gender Studies at Santa Clara University.  The editors work with a 16-member editorial board of senior and junior scholars representing the various fields of study within Gilded Age and Progressive Era scholarship.

 

The Journal encourages submissions in every field of scholarly inquiry, including (though not limited to) politics and government, social and cultural history, business, economic, and labor history, international relations, comparative and transnational history, issues of race, ethnicity, class, and gender, legal, intellectual, and religious history, science and medicine, technology, the arts, and material culture, rural and urban history, and regional history.  Public historians and independent scholars as well as academic historians are invited to submit, as are social scientists working on historical issues and scholars in American Studies. Submissions from graduate students are welcome.

 

Starting in 2011, the journal will move to being published by Cambridge University Press.  Subscribers will receive a lot more information about this soon. As part of this move, the online version of the current issue will not appear on the History Cooperative.  Instead, it will appear soon on Cambridge Journals Online.  At first, this digital edition will be open access, in part to publicize the move.  By mid-2011, the online version will switch to access by subscription. Individual members will continue to have access to the full run of the journal via the Cambridge service as they have until now via the History Cooperative, which remains available for the time being but which will dissolve at some point.  Subscribers will receive instructions for access in due course.

 

Their current issue, Volume 9, Number 3, contains nothing of particular interest to the fin-de-siècle scholar.

Journal of Victorian Culture

 

The Journal of Victorian Culture (JVC) promotes the best work on all aspects of nineteenth-century society, culture, and the material world including: literature, art, performance, politics, science, medicine, technology, lived experience, and ideas. It welcomes submissions which address a broad Victorian studies readership and explore new questions and approaches. Concerned with the long nineteenth century, its legacies, and echoes in the present day, the journal encourages articles which interrogate periodisation, historiography and critical traditions.

 

Journal of Victorian Culture interprets the notions of ‘Victorian' and ‘Culture' very broadly, and solicits articles dealing with any aspect of the long nineteenth century and its legacies, focusing on Britain and all other parts of the world where culture can be studied in a Victorian context. JVC is addressed to scholars working within the various disciplines that have traditionally constituted Victorian studies; it also confronts issues about and raises questions across disciplinary boundaries. The editorial board welcomes articles that adopt an interdisciplinary approach to their subject matter. However, the board also encourages articles which, while focusing on one sub-discipline, reflect on the implications of their argument for other Victorian studies constituencies.

 

Its latest issue is 14.2, October 2008; it contains Susan L. Steinbach's  article “From Redress to Farce: Breach of Promise Theatre in Cultural Context, 1830-1920” and Renata Kobetts Miller's reviews of Julia Reid's Robert Louis Stevenson, Science, and the Fin-de-Siècle” and Thomas L Reed's The Transforming Draught: Jekyll and Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson and the Victorian Alcohol Debate.

 

Lisa Hager, Online Editor, writes

 

The editorial board of the Journal of Victorian Culture is pleased to announce the creation and launch of its online edition, the Journal of Victorian Culture Online: http://myblogs.informa.com/jvc/.  In addition to featuring some content from the print edition of the journal in the "Out Now" and "Coming Soon" sections, JVC Online hopes to support lively scholarly exchanges on the "Editor's Blog" and "Reader's Form" pages. The "Events" and "Resources" sections will keep scholars up-to-date on conferences, associations, and digital archives. Given popular culture's interest in the nineteenth century, we have created the "Victorians Beyond the Academy" section to facilitate discussion of Victorian-related exhibits, films, television series, art, objects, comic books, and various other current cultural artifacts, ephemera, and events.  Embracing the participatory possibilities of digital publishing, we cordially invite the Victorian studies scholarly community to contribute to the site by posting original content and commenting on existing posts. We envision this site as a dynamic and collegial virtual space, giving nineteenth century studies scholars a unique venue to consider new ideas and share insights. We look forward to your contributions and comments!

The Kipling Journal

 

The Kipling Journal, house magazine of the Kipling Society, is sent quarterly to all current subscribing members. Its contributions to learning since 1927 have earned it a high reputation. It has published many important items by Kipling not readily found elsewhere, and a vast quantity of valuable historical, literary, and bibliographical commentary by authorities in their field.

 

In the academic study of Kipling, no serious scholar overlooks the Journal’s wealth of data. The entire run since 1927 has been comprehensively indexed, and can be searched on-line from within the Members’ area of their site.

 

The Editor of the Kipling Journal publishes membership news, Society events, and the texts of talks given by invited speakers. In addition, he is happy to receive letters and articles from readers.

 

These may be edited and publication is not guaranteed. A page holds under 500 words, so articles of 5000 words, often needing preface, notes and illustrations, may be hard to accommodate quickly. Letters of crisp comment, under 1000 words, and articles between 1000 and 4000 words are especially welcome. Email to davpag@yahoo.co.uk.

 

As with other literary societies, contributors are not paid; their reward is the appearance of their work in a periodical of repute.

 

The Secretary of the Society arranges distribution of the Journal, and holds an attractive stock of back numbers for sale.  Click the image and then follow the links for the Table of Contents for the current issue, Volume 84, no. 338, September 2010.

The Latchkey

 

Edited by Petra Dierkes-Thrun, The Latchkey is devoted to the concept of the New Woman, covering the lives and writings of New Women authors and figures, the representation of the New Woman in literature, culture, art, and society, proto-feminism and early feminist journalism, and current innovative scholarship on the New Woman.  While the term ‘New Woman’ originated in England, the cultural phenomenon extended beyond Britain and we wish to explore its presence (or reasons for its absence) and influence in other countries and across disciplines.  The Reviews Editor is Jessica Cox.

 

Part of THE OSCHOLARS group of fin-de-siècle journals, it can be found on line by clicking the banner.  The current issue is Vol. II, No. 1 (Summer 2010).

Literary London: interdisciplinary studies in the representation of London

 

This e-journal, associated with the annual conference of the same name and edited by Lawrence Phillips (University of Northampton), is found on line at http://www.literarylondon.org/. The current issue is Volume 8, Number 1.  Its articles and reviews are listed. We recommend this journal as a possible vehicle for articles on the Rhymers Club, the Café Royal, London salons, ‘Darkest London’ and other fin-de-siècle themes, especially the literary representation of such themes.  Of particular interest in this latest issue is David Barnes's ‘Ruskin's 'Authentic' London:  Architecture and National Identity in the Victorian City’.

The Michaelian

 

In the spring of 2008, the Michael Field Society launched a successful Call for Papers for the inaugural edition of The Michaelian, an academic, non-profit, peer-reviewed online journal, dedicated to the study of Michael Field (Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper) and their circle.  Publication is intended to be annual.  The journal seeks to bring together advanced graduate students and scholars from many universities to create a unique forum for a wide-ranging discussion engaging with all aspects of Michael Field fieldscholarship, including literature and literary history, feminist and lesbian/queer perspectives, collaborative writing, life-writing, theatre history, publishing history and art history.  The inaugural edition was expected to go online in November/December 2008, but problems arose with their webhosting.  THE OSCHOLARS has been very pleased to be in a position to offer shelter to The Michaelian at www.oscholars.com, and the first issue has now been published on our website.  A call for Papers for the second number has been issued.  More information may be obtained from Sharon Bickle, School of English, Media Studies & Art History, The University of Queensland.  @.

Modern & Contemporary France

 

Founded in 1980 by the Association for the Study of Modern & Contemporary France, Modern & Contemporary France is an international peer-reviewed journal, offering a scholarly view of all aspects of France from 1789 to the present day.

 

It is a multi-disciplinary journal of French studies, drawing particularly, but not exclusively, on the work of scholars in history, literary and cultural studies, film and media studies, and the political and social sciences.

 

While the primary focus of the journal is France, the Editors also welcome submissions with a transnational or comparative dimension, as well as articles addressing aspects of the French Empire or France's relations with the wider world.

 

Modern & Contemporary France publishes research articles, occasional articles discussing topical issues from a scholarly perspective, review articles and an extensive range of book reviews.  The journal also publishes themed special issues, for which submissions are invited from guest editors.  Its current issue Volume 18, Issue 4 2010, dedicated to Women in French Politics, contains nothing of particular interest to the fin-de-siècle scholar.

Neo-Victorian Studies

 

Neo-Victorian Studies is a peer-reviewed, inter-disciplinary eJournal dedicated to the exploration of the contemporary fascination with re-imagining the nineteenth century and its varied literary, artistic, socio-political and historical contexts in both British and international frameworks. Perhaps most evident in the proliferation of so-called neo-Victorian novels, the trend is also discernible in a recent
