Ten years is an important period. DiGeSt, the academic journal for gender and diversity studies, was launched ten years ago. The idea of the journal, however, took shape three years earlier the summer of 2011.

The Edinburgh Companion to First World War Periodicals
The first reference book on First World War newspapers and magazines from the home front to the front lines While literary scholars and historians often draw on the press as a source of information, First World War periodicals have rarely been studied as cultural artefacts in their own right. However, as this volume shows, the press not only played a vital role in the conflict, but also underwent significant changes due to the war. This Companion…

Edinburgh Companion to First World War Periodicals
Introduction
Against the backdrop of post-modernism and deconstruction, the 1970s and 1980s witnessed an explosion of innovative theories and new research interests in Victorian studies that sometimes clashed and sometimes mixed to create new paths in literary theory and history. A global feminist recuperation project started off in the early seventies, alongside a renewed impulse in the neglected genre of biography, with seminal biographies of great writers …

Introduction Authorship as Cultural Performance
This article proposes a performative model of authorship, based on the historical alternation between predominantly 'weak' and 'strong' author concepts and related practices of writing, publication and reading. Based on this model, we give a brief overview of the historical development of such author concepts in English literature from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. We argue for a more holistic approach to authorship within a cultural …
Grappling with Evolutionary Theory. Femininities and Masculinities in the Work of Virginie Loveling (1836–1923)
In this article, the authors discuss evolutionary thought as it manifests itself in the literary works of the (Flemish) Belgian writer Virginie Loveling (1836–1923). By introducing certain aspects of the evolutionary ideologies popular in Europe in the last decades of the nineteenth century, Loveling fulfilled a mediating role in the production and dispersion of knowledge. In her novels she integrates the mechanisms of natural and sexual selectio…
Saving, Spending and Serving
The Dorothy Novelette and its supplements were part of a sub-genre of weekly penny periodicals which were dominant in British publishing in the last 25 years of the nineteenth century. The evolution of the Dorothy from a ‘complete story’ novelette into an early modern women's magazine during the 1890s resulted as its features changed to attract readers and keep up sales. Examining the depiction of time as a locus of this perpetual change in the D…
The Little Magazine in the 1890s
The two most prominent Aestheticist or Decadent literary magazines in the 1890s were the Yellow Book and the Savoy. Both arguably drew inspiration from the coterie publication the Dial, which for the first time brought together the eclectic sources of their editorial aesthetic. The later Dome can be seen as a more consistently successful yet also less provocative descendant. In this article we have chosen to examine those four journals in light o…
And the winner is?' Researching the relationship between gender and literary awards in Flanders, 1981-20001
This article focuses on the correlation between the gender of authors and the winners of literary awards in Flanders in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The hypothesis is that the chances of winning such an award are different for male and female writers. The article will investigate the reasons for this imbalance. The authors look at the impact the gender of the authors seems to have and at the gender of the judges. The article wil…

From Epitaph to Obituary
This essay explores how modernist writers adopted and adapted the epitaph, the obituary, and the memoir. In particular, posthumous homages by Eliot and Pound to Virginia Woolf, Henry James, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, and James Joyce show the two modernist poets reworking traditional memorial genres for their own purposes, by using such age-old salutes to dead colleagues to position themselves and their generation within literary history and the canon
Of Influences and Anxieties
This is an interview with Professor Sandra Gilbert (University of North California at Davis), undoubtedly one of feminism's most prominent theorists. The interview was conducted in Ghent in the spring of 2000. Sandra Gilbert's name is most often used in conjunction with that of Professor Susan Gubar as the author of The Madwoman in the Attic and the trilogy No Man's Land. In the course of the interview Professor Gilbert talks about the hurdles sh…
Discursive Desire
This is an account of an interview with one of Britain's foremost literary theorists, Professor Catherine Belsey. The interview was conducted in Ghent, Belgium in 1997. The discussion spans all of Belsey's works, from the earliest, Critical Practice (1980), to her latest publication, Shakespeare and the Loss of Eden (1999). In this piece, Belsey openly and unpretentiously discusses her feminist commitment, her sometimes controversial critical pos…
