This anthology makes available to students and general readers the
rich variety of Victorian magazines for women. The extracts range
from fashion magazines to feminist journals, from serious works for
Christian mothers to tales of romance and passion for
'sweethearts'. Focusing on the historical development of the
British women's magazine, this extensively illustrated work gives
access to texts which few readers ever see. The first main section
describes and illustrates eight kinds of magazine for women. Though
they have common features, the differences between the drawing room
journal of the 1830s and 1840s and the cheap domestic magazines of
the 1890s are clearly demonstrated. The second section focuses on
those elements which made up the magazine's typical mix of
ingredients, including fiction, the fashion plate, poetry,
political journalism, advice columns and reader's letters. The last
section is the most comprehensive listing of British Victorian
women's magazines which currently exists. This is a work of
scholarship but one which will appeal to students of Cultural,
Historical, Literary and Women's Studies, as well as to the general
interested reader. Like the magazines it represents, it offers its
readers both entertainment and instruction. -- .
