Yearning to 'Break Their Yoke in Ireland': Robert Emmet, Irish American Republicanism, and Charles Brockden Brown
2025
Contrary to readings of Brown's early novels that understand him as viewing the Irish as \"savage\" or \"alien,\" this essay examines his depiction of the Irish over the course of his career in his political pamphlets, periodical publications, and editing against the Irish struggle for liberty and independence from England. It argues that court speeches like those of Robert Emmet in 1803 circulated in American print culture and inspired William Duane, Brown, and others to publish material that was sympathetic to the Irish cause. While Brown's understanding of the British \"yoke\" of oppression may be seen as originating with his lived experience during the American Revolution, it evolves over time in his fiction, his political pamphlet An Address to the United States (1803), his Literary Magazine and American Register (1803–7), his American Register: A Repository of History, Politics, and Science (1807–9), and his Address to Congress in 1809. The ability to search Brown's larger corpus of writing electronically alongside databases like Readex's America's Historical Newspapers (1690–1922) invites similar study of other authors, such as Hugh Henry Bracken-ridge, whose writings contain depictions of the Irish or Ireland, and highlights the ways digital analysis of archival materials can map textual traces of sentiment or ideology into larger patterns of meaning.

Conversing with Readers in Aunt Judy’s Magazine: Building a Community of Young Middle-Class Philanthropists to Fight the ‘Grim Nurses
2020
Under the editorship of Margaret Gatty (1809-1873)—an amateur naturalist and the author of several didactic fairy-stories—a new monthly, six-penny magazine was launched in 1866: Aunt Judy’s Magazine. By the time of its first issue, the Hospital for Sick Children at Great Ormond Street (GOSH) had already been serving impoverished children for fourteen years. Dr Charles West founded the hospital in 1852 and it quickly became popular with philanthropists, most notably, in the early years, Charles Dickens who described the hospital as counteracting the destructive effects of the ‘Grim Nurses: Poverty and Sickness’. Shortly after the founding of the magazine, in 1868, ‘Aunt Judy,’ the editorial persona used in the magazine, used the rapport she had built up with her child readers to encourage them to donate to GOSH. The magazine and its readers would go on to raise thousands of pounds in individual donations and monthly, quarterly, and annual subscriptions to establish several ‘Aunt Judy’s Cots’ for poor, sick children, in addition to helping with the construction of a new wing of the hospital. This essay does not analyze how Aunt Judy’s Magazine helped the hospital but investigates the ways the ‘Correspondence’ pages were used for the ideological work of creating a new generation of middle-class philanthropists. The analysis of the correspondence pages of Aunt Judy’s Magazine reveals how the conversational tone of the fictional persona of ‘Aunt Judy’ helped build a trusting relationship with the child readers which was instrumental in recruiting them to fight the ‘Grim Nurses’.

Mapping Domesticity 'At Home' and Abroad in the Travel Writing of Dickens's Household Words and All the Year Round
2021
This essay investigates several instances of travel writing in the Dickens weekly magazines, Household Words (1850–1859) and All the Year Round (1859–1895), that make use of the common Victorian phrase \"At Home\" in their titles, particularly \"At Home at Tehran\" (1862), \"At Home in Siam\" (1857), \"Mrs. Mohammed Bey 'at Home'\" (1862), and \"The Japanese at Home\" (1862). Some of these articles illustrate the British making themselves \"at home\" in the world, while others purport to provide an exotic glimpse into the domestic lives of others abroad. The variety of these articles' topics and settings offer to map the imperial world for the armchair reader \"at home\" in Britain, yet the articles themselves are limited by Dickens's editorial preferences for collective authorship and a humorous tone, which flatten the very cultural distinctions that the travel writing genre promises to illuminate. It is argued that the periodicals' emphasis on Dickensian humor often results in the ridicule of other countries' domestic behavior, thereby contributing to the popular Victorian perception of British domesticity as superior to that of the rest of the world.

The Birth of Belgian Surrealism: Excerpts from Correspondance (1924-25)/Commentary
2013
Correspondance was a Belgian surrealist magazine, from the earliest years of the movement, that can be read as a challenge to the notions of surrealism promoted in Andre Breton's Manifesto of Surrealism of 1924. Though short-lived and low-profile, Correspondance was a subtly influential intervention in twentieth-century culture. Here, Baetens and Kasper provide a representative sample of the stylistic, rhetorical, and ideological tone of Correspondance, while suggesting as well, although many of its allusions are still open to rediscovery and interpretation, the way the periodical was intimately networked with the wider modernist scene of the mid-1920s.

Politics for Girls
2019
Political girlhood was an important, but previously overlooked, feature of the fin de siècle girls' periodical press. In the Girl's Own Paper and the Girl's Realm, the \"political girl\" existed alongside other incarnations of the \"new girl.\" Together with adult-authored informative and fiction pieces, correspondence pages and \"how-to\" columns encouraged girl readers' active engagement with empire and parliamentary politics. Youth gave preadolescent girls freedom to express their political and imperial identities through play. Uncovering examples that appear to jar with the dominant tone of these journals, this essay nuances assumptions that girls' periodical literature and lived experiences were necessarily apolitical.

La Guinea Española
2018
Published by the Spanish religious order of the Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary from their seminary in Banapá, the authentic objectives of La Guinea Española were less transparent than a simple inculcation of Catholic values among the purportedly beloved indigenous population. Spanish colonizers later embraced Fernando Po's potential as an exportation site for cocoa, coffee, and timber, establishing plantations that relied on immigrant labor from other African countries, particularly Nigeria and Liberia. According to Ugarte, while the magazine's goals certainly did not encapsulate the desire to provide agency to its colonial subjects, La Guinea Española: perhaps the most important factor in the creation of what is known now as a written Equatorial Guinean culture. [. . .] While the overall nature and tone of La Guinea Española aimed to promote a positive vision of Spanish colonial presence, the magazine published a variety of content, including \"local news, lists of passengers to and from Spain, service openings and many articles on ethnology, social and natural sciences\" (GonzálezEchegaray X).

Planting a Flag for Socialism: An Interview with Bhaskar Sunkara
2018
[...]that's the tone and incentive of Jacobin pieces: it doesn't often have a stridency that you see in the rest of the left. [...]I spend very little time in meetings, and I spend very little time socially with the left. [...]a lot of my time is spent on the business side, doing the work of publishing and marketing. [...]the greatest theoretical breakthroughs in Marxism came during the era of the big Second International parties.
