  • Journalist: the Americanization of W.T
    A ‘New’ Journalist: The Americanization of W.T. Stead Helena Goodwyn ABSTRACT W. T. Stead, the journalist and editor, is known primarily for his knight-errant crusade on behalf of women and girls in the sensational investigative articles ‘The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon’ (1885). The controversial success of these articles could not have been achieved without Stead’s study and adoption of American journalistic techniques. Stead’s importance to nineteenth century periodicals must be informed by an understanding of Stead as a mediating force between British and American print culture. This premise is developed here through exploration of the terms ‘New Journalism’ and ‘Americanization’. Drawing from every stage of his career including his amateur yet dynamic beginnings as an unpaid contributor to the Northern Echo, I will examine Stead’s unofficial title as the father of New Journalism and the extent to which this title is directly attributable to his relationship with America, or, to use Stead’s term, his Americanization. Keywords: New Journalism, W.T. Stead, America, international, popular journalism, Americanization, Transatlantic, Britain, newspapers 1. INTRODUCTION For the journalist and editor W.T. Stead there could never be enough information about American life and culture printed in British periodicals. At the outset of his transition from apprenticed clerk to the world of newspapers, in 1870, we find him complaining to John Copleston, then editor of the Northern Echo, about the lack of American news published by the periodical press. In this letter we also witness an early glimpse of Stead’s life-long aspiration for Anglo-American amity: ‘I wish we had more American news in our papers.

    FRIEND OR FEMME FATALE?: OLGA NOVIKOVA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, 1877-1925 Mary Mellon A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Louise McReynolds Donald J. Raleigh Jacqueline M. Olich i ABSTRACT MARY MELLON: Friend or Femme Fatale?: Olga Novikova in the British Press, 1877-1925 (Under the direction of Dr. Louise McReynolds) This thesis focuses on the career of Russian journalist Olga Alekseevna Novikova (1840-1925), a cosmopolitan aristocrat who became famous in England for her relentless advocacy of Pan-Slavism and Russian imperial interests, beginning with the Russo- Turkish War (1877-78). Using newspapers, literary journals, and other published sources, I examine both the nature of Novikova’s contributions to the British press and the way the press reacted to her activism. I argue that Novikova not only played an important role in the production of the discourse on Russia in England, but became an object of that discourse as well. While Novikova pursued her avowed goal of promoting a better understanding between the British and Russian empires, a fascinated British press continually reinterpreted Novikova’s image through varying evaluations of her nationality, gender, sexuality, politics and profession. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS FRIEND OR FEMME FATALE?: OLGA NOVIKOVA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, 1877-1925……………….…………...……………………….1 Introduction……………………………………………………………….1 The Genesis of a “Lady Diplomatist”…………………………………...11 Novikova Goes to War…………………………………………………..14 Novikova After 1880…………………………………………………….43 Conclusion……………………………………………………………….59 Epilogue: The Lady Vanishes..………………………………………….60 BIBLIOGRAPHY……………………………………………………………….63 iii The removal of national misunderstandings is a task which often baffles the wisdom of the greatest statesmen, and defies the effort of the most powerful monarchs.

Signed declaration_________________________________________ Date_____________________ 3 Abstract This thesis examines the development of campaigning writing in newspapers and periodicals between 1840 and 1875 and its relationship to concepts of Old and New Journalism. Campaigning is often regarded as characteristic of the New Journalism of the fin de siècle, particularly in the form associated with W. T. Stead at the Pall Mall Gazette in the 1880s. New Journalism was persuasive, opinionated, and sensational. It displayed characteristics of the American mass-circulation press, including eye-catching headlines on newspaper front pages. The period covered by this thesis begins in 1840, with the Chartist Northern Star as the hub of a campaign on behalf of the leaders of the Newport rising of November 1839.

    http://akroterion.journals.ac.za ANDREW LANG, COMPARATIVE ANTHROPOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS IN THE AFRICAN ROMANCES OF RIDER HAGGARD J L Hilton (University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban) The long-standing friendship between Andrew Lang (1844-1912)1 and Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925)2 is surely one of the most intriguing literary relationships of the Victorian era.3 Lang was a pre-eminent literary critic and his support for Haggard’s earliest popular romances, such as King Solomon’s mines (1885) and She (1887), helped to establish them as leading models of the new genre of imperial adventure fiction.4 Lang and Haggard co-authored The world’s desire (1890)5 and the ideas of Lang, who was also a brilliant Classics scholar, can be seen in many of Haggard’s works. There are some significant similarities between the two men: both were approximate contemporaries who lived through the most aggressive phase of British imperialism, both were highly successfully writers who earned their living by their pens, both wrote prolifically and fluently on a wide 1 On Andrew Lang, see Donaldson 2004:453-456, Langstaff 1978, De Cocq 1968, Gordon 1928, and, above all, Green 1946. 2 The standard biographies of Rider Haggard are Etherington 1984, and Cohen 1960, somewhat dated, but very well written, but note also the more specialised studies of Stiebel 2009, 2001, Coan 2007, 2000, 1997, Monsman 2006, Pocock 1993, Fraser 1998, Vogelsberger 1984, Higgins 1981, Lewis 1984:128-132, Ellis 1978, and Bursey 1973.

William Thomas Stead, one-time editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, died as he sailed to answer a personal invitation from US President William Howard Taft to speak at a congress in New York’s Carnegie Hall on world peace and international arbitration. He decided to treat himself to a £26 11s (£25.55) first class ticket on the liner’s maiden voyage. He was 62 when he died. The Institute, led by President Norman Bartlett, will lay a wreath at the Stead memorial on London’s Victoria Embankment, directly opposite the Temple tube station’s Embankment exit, at 10am on Sunday, April 15. This will be followed by a special service at St Bride’s Church, Fleet Street, at 11am. Drinks will be served afterwards.

  • Old V. New Journalism and the Public Sphere; Or, Habermas Encounters Dallas and Stead Graham Law and Matthew Sterenberg
    Old v. New Journalism and the Public Sphere; or, Habermas Encounters Dallas and Stead Graham Law and Matthew Sterenberg Though the phrase the ‘New Journalism’ did not become current in British periodicals until the later 1880s — the earliest recorded instances appear to date from articles issued around the middle of the decade — the first signs of those tendencies towards the personalization, popularization, and commercialization of the newspaper press suggested by the term can be detected at least as early as the mid-century.1 This article attempts to contribute to the theorization of the shift from the ‘Old’ to the ‘New Journalism’ during the latter part of the nineteenth century, by applying to it the analysis of the structural transformation of the public sphere as elaborated by the German sociologist Jürgen Habermas in his 1962 study focusing on the modern period, and summarized in a more wide-ranging encyclopedia article in 1964.2 As Mark Hampton has suggested, scholarship concerning the New Journalism remains generally ‘under-theorized’ in relation to Habermas’s thinking on communications media, a deficit that can only partly be accounted for by the fact that the German’s seminal study was not translated into English until 1989.3 In the limited space available, and given our broad sympathy with his rationalist– modernist project, we will deploy Habermas’s basic concepts without defending or critiquing them. In his encyclopedia entry on the topic, Habermas explains that his term ‘the public sphere’ is primarily intended to designate ‘a realm of our social life in which something approaching public opinion can be formed’, with ‘public opinion’ in its turn defined as ‘the tasks of criticism and control which a public body of citizens informally — and, in periodic elections, formally as well — practices vis-à-vis the ruling structure organized in the form of a state’ (‘Public Sphere’, p.
