Beyond the schooled form and into the discipline
This article is an introduction to two other articles in this issue, Catherine Maxwell’s ‘Teaching 19th-century aesthetic prose’ and Kirsteen Anderson’s ‘The whole learner: the role of imagination in developing disciplinary learning’.

Victorian Journalism in Plenty
Although the OED 's first citation for “journalism” is dated 1833 (it comes from Westminster Review ), the current dramatic expansion of digital resources suggests that scholarly use of Victorian journals may be reaching a point of transition.

When it came to the study of British literature, we learned that the novel and …
New Women, Old and New
D ESPITE SOME TWENTY YEARS of scholarship in the field, core questions such as “what is a New Woman?” and “what is New Woman fiction?” still remain vexed and all too often need more precise definition. Yet one can say that for all the conflicts of meaning and emphasis between sexual and political, discursive and actual, or caricature and didactic, the feminist rediscovery of the New Woman during the late 1970s has not only opened the canon but ha…
