  • Fairies to Be Photographed! Press Reactions in “Scrapbooks” to the Cottingley Fairies Kaori Inuma
    Fairies to Be Photographed! Press Reactions in “Scrapbooks” to the Cottingley Fairies Kaori Inuma Introduction In 1917, two girls (Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths) used a “Midge” camera to produce two fairy photographs in the Cottingley glen, West Yorkshire. Though the fairies were made of paper, the girls stubbornly insisted that they were real fairies in order to play a joke on their parents and friends.1 A few years later, the photographs were forwarded to Edward L. Gardner, the president of Blavatsky lodge of the Theosophical Society in London. In addition, the news about the photographs reached Arthur Conan Doyle, best known for his fictional detective series of Sherlock Holmes, who was then writing an article on the belief in fairies in folklore. Doyle contacted Gardner and they commenced the investigation of the fairy photographs together. They consulted various experts in photography and made the girls take three more fairy photographs. As a result, Doyle published two articles in the Strand Magazine in 1920 and 1921 followed by a book titled The Coming of the Fairies (1922) in which he concluded that they could not find any evidence of tricks. Some previous research on this case has considered that the contemporary press primarily debated the existence of the fairies, whether the photographs were forged or genuine; critical views were dominant. Alex Owen, who argued the case in relation to power and privilege, stated: “All this occurred, however, at considerable cost to Conan Doyle’s reputation. His espousal of the fairies dismayed many of even his most ardent admirers. Nevertheless, there were those who Fairies to Be Photographed! felt that lingering questions over the possible authenticity of the photographs remained, and public interest and debate have continued down the years” (50).

Two major collections of particular significance to this guide are 11 Early English Newspapers and Newspapers from the Russian Revolution Era. Unlike the majority of newspapers 11 listed here, none of the titles in either set can be accessed through the University of Toronto's online catalogue. Early English Newspapers is a collection of seventeenth and eighteenth century periodical literature. It 11 includes the British Library's Burney Collection of Early English Newspapers as well as the holdings of Oxford University's BodVean Library. Missing issues from these two collections, and some additional titles are supplied 11 from other important collections, such as the Yale University Library. The collection is an important source for contemporary history, literature, drama, and philosophy. In addition to newspapers, it includes broadsides, periodicals, and Charles Burney's manuscripts. Newspapers from the Russian Revolutionary Era is principally based on the holdings at Columbia University's Herbert Lehman Library. This collection covers almost every facet of the Revolution, and includes papers relating to the Revolution which were printed in other countries.

    Bethell’s “Leaves of Gold”: an unpublished poem Peter Whiteford Some years ago, when reviewing Vincent O‟Sullivan‟s second edition of the collected poetry of Ursula Bethell, Hugh Roberts speculated about the extent and quality of unpublished poems by Bethell that he assumed to exist. Her well-known habit of including poems in letters to friends, both in New Zealand and abroad, seemed to invite such speculation; and the possibility of a treasure trove of unknown poems was indeed tantalising. Regrettably, however, the evidence for such a store of poems is slight;1 and if they ever existed, they appear now to be lost. The unpublished poems that do exist, in the archive of her papers held in the Macmillan Brown Library at the University of Canterbury, are sadly fewer than Roberts had hoped, and of less consequence than he imagined. Although there are some twenty-five or thirty unpublished poems in the archive, their worth is indicated by Bethell‟s own gathering of them in envelopes that are labelled, for example, “Poetry rubbish heap”, “Rejects” or “Bits I can‟t be bothered with”. One piece that is of some interest – not least because, although a translation, it predates by at least twenty years the poetry she wrote at Rise Cottage – is reproduced below. It is extant in two copies, each in Bethell‟s hand, one a pencilled draft, on the back of a luncheon bill from a Midlands Railway refreshment room, the other a fair copy in ink on plain paper. The copies of the poem are both contained in an envelope in MB 558, Box 9, Folder 5, on the back of which Bethell has written: “These Westminster Gazette competitions were fun.

From Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Aurora Leigh (1853-56), who ‘wrote for cyclopaedias, magazines / And weekly papers, holding up [her] name / To keep it from the mud’, to the protagonist of Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford’s novel The Inheritors (1901) who scratches out a piece of mercenary journalism on ‘coarse paper’ with ‘thick, pale and sticky ink’, the plight of the writer who has to sell – and thus degrade - their pen to the newspaper trade is a recurring subject for authors without a private income.
