“Feminine Resolution”. Needed as much in August 2023 as September 1812 (from the Lady’s Magazine).

I am so very honoured and thrilled to be giving the Colby Lecture at the RSVP conference in Caen next Saturday. I will be taking about my book, The Lady’s Magazine (1770-1832) and the Making of Literary History and how its women readers engaged in its page with the worlds of politics and war

Just for the ads, the older the magazine the better. I think this can include old adult magazines like Playboy, Penthouse, etc. as well as the "regular" magazines.

On a side note, you may be able to find many via Internet Archive.

>To Truly Understand the Past, Pick Up an Old Magazine

Find a print issue, preferably more than 20 years old, and read it cover to cover. You’ll find the old days stranger than you remember.

Completely shocked and utterly honoured to have found out that my book, The Lady’s Magazine and the Making of Literary History (Edinburgh University Press, 2022) has won The Robert and Vineta Colby Scholarly book prize awarded annually by the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals.

If there's one thing I really hate - no matter where it might be - it is , and content who post something enticing - such as "Bookworms, rejoice: this list is for you" - and don't deliver the goods.

In what way? The first thing you get is an accept cookies pop-up, and then you have to sign up to get any content, sometimes subscribe for a monthly fee.

This, for me, is dishonesty, and such creators should clearly state financial requirements or .

Back from shopping, and the post has also been delivered. A, for me, brand new copy of the Times Literary Supplement which, for anyone else, would be a glimpse into the past. I'm not sure what has happened to the British postal system - although I do support the workers' strikes, these problems have been there much longer - as this edition is the one from 9 December.

Good thing it's over books and literature, otherwise I'd be so out of date and lost.

Day 22 of the : Carriage Dress from October 1813. Not only do I love this frock but I love the self-referentiality of the plate, which sees the sitter holding a copy of the magazine in her hand.

It's always a real thrill to receive a proper paper copy of something you've published.

There is some deep memory and joy in the haptic that the electronic just doesn't hold.
