  • Social and Cultural Functions of the Local Press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900

    Social and Cultural Functions of the Local Press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900

    Reading the local paper: Social and cultural functions of the local press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900 by Andrew Hobbs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire November 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis demonstrates that the most popular periodical genre of the second half of the nineteenth century was the provincial newspaper. Using evidence from news rooms, libraries, the trade press and oral history, it argues that the majority of readers (particularly working-class readers) preferred the local press, because of its faster delivery of news, and because of its local and localised content. Building on the work of Law and Potter, the thesis treats the provincial press as a national network and a national system, a structure which enabled it to offer a more effective news distribution service than metropolitan papers. Taking the town of Preston, Lancashire, as a case study, this thesis provides some background to the most popular local publications of the period, and uses the diaries of Preston journalist Anthony Hewitson as a case study of the career of a local reporter, editor and proprietor. Three examples of how the local press consciously promoted local identity are discussed: Hewitson’s remoulding of the Preston Chronicle, the same paper’s changing treatment of Lancashire dialect, and coverage of professional football. These case studies demonstrate some of the local press content that could not practically be provided by metropolitan publications. The ‘reading world’ of this provincial town is reconstructed, to reveal the historical circumstances in which newspapers and the local paper in particular were read.

    The Long History of the Royal Hospital in the UK Popular Press: Searching for the RHN in the British Newspaper Archive Database

    The long history of the Royal Hospital in the UK popular press: searching for the RHN in the British Newspaper Archive database Examples of the Hospital newspaper advertisements which were published during 1980s During the past few months, I have been surveying the British Newspaper Archive for mentions of the Hospital. It has been an interesting deep dive into this online database of digitised newspaper articles, with over 40 million pages to search through. What I found was thousands of references to the hospital which I have only really scrapped the surface of what is there about the hospital in the past. In this report, I will summarise some of the key types of items that were published about the hospital and provide some notable highlights from my initial research. What is the British Newspaper Archive? The British Newspaper Archive is a web resource created by the British Library and the genealogy company, findmypast. The website contains over 40 million digitised newspaper pages of newspapers held in the British Library collection. The collection includes most of the runs of newspapers published in the UK since 1800. 1 How to search the British Newspaper Archive The British Newspaper Archives digital records include details of the newspaper title, date and place of publication. When searching through the newspapers you are searching through the newspaper text itself which the database can search as it has undergone a scanning process called optical character recognition (OCR) which makes it machine readable. When searching through a historic database it is important to choose keywords that will always likely to come up.

    Travellers in the Great Steppe FROM THE PAPAL ENVOYS TO THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION NICK FIELDING “In writing this book I have tried to explain some of the historical events that have affected those living in the Great Steppe – not an easy task, as there is little study of this subject in the English language. And the disputes between the Russians and their neighbours and between the Bashkirs, the Kazakhs, the Turkomans, the Kyrgyz and the Kalmyks – not to mention the Djungars, the Dungans, the Nogai, the Mongols, the Uighurs and countless others – means that this is not a subject for the faint-hearted. Nonetheless, I hope that the writings referred to in this book have been put into the right historical context. The reasons why outsiders travelled to the Great Steppe varied over time and in themselves provide a different kind of history. Some of these travellers, particularly the women, have been forgotten by modern readers. Hopefully this book will stimulate you the reader to track down some of the long- forgotten classics mentioned within. Personally, I do not think the steppe culture described so vividly by travellers in these pages will ever fully disappear. The steppe is truly vast and can swallow whole cities with ease. Landscape has a close relationship with culture – and the former usually dominates the latter. Whatever happens, it will be many years before the Great Steppe finally gives up all its secrets. This book aims to provide just a glimpse of some of them.” From the author’s introduction.

    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.

    CONTESTING IMPERIAL CITIZENSHIP 1 Contesting Imperial Citizenship: The election of Dadabhai Naoroji as an MP in 1892 Jasleen Chaggar Undergraduate Senior Thesis Department of History Columbia University 29 March, 2021 Seminar Advisor: Professor Samuel Roberts Second Reader: Professor Susan G. Pedersen CONTESTING IMPERIAL CITIZENSHIP 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank Professor Pedersen, without whose advice and countless re-readings I could not have completed this thesis. Her history course on twentieth century Britain allowed me to re-imagine the place I call home through a historical lens. I must also acknowledge Professor Tiersten, whose course Colonial Encounters, which charted the contact zone between colonial subjects and Western powers, was the inspiration for this study. I would also like to thank Professor Roberts for his wisdom and feedback through this year-long odyssey, as well as the senior thesis seminar “Yellow team” for their incisive comments and constant cheerleading–even through zoom lectures. I owe a great deal of gratitude to my grandparents, who made their own voyage to the metropole in the 1960s and whose relationships to the legacy of Empire have been a continual source of fascination. As always, I would like to thank my family and friends for their ceaseless encouragement and support. CONTESTING IMPERIAL CITIZENSHIP 3 Abstract In 1892, Dadabhai Naoroji became the first Indian elected to British Parliament upon his victory as a Liberal candidate in the Central Finsbury campaign. In the run up and aftermath of his election, the press fiercely debated the candidate’s electability, in column after column which both mirrored and influenced public opinion.

    “The Beginning of the End” an Analysis of British Newspaper Coverage of Lincoln’S Emancipation Proclamation

    KEITH WILSON “The Beginning of the End” An Analysis of British Newspaper Coverage of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation Although negative perceptions of the character of African Americans were at the center of the British press debate over the merits of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, it was the way that his character was portrayed that gave it potency and direction. Editors who opposed the Proclamation besmirched him in a way that enabled them to argue that they were not defending slavery but keeping their commentary within Britain’s popular anti-slavery traditions. In contrast, those papers which supported the Proclamation believed he was a liberal statesman who shared the core moral values of the British. Because the debate occurred when newspapers were undergoing profound and innovative changes, this helped shape the character of the debate, increased its intensity, and provided a commentary on the evolving nature of British newspaper journalism. n October 21, 1862, the editor of The Times newspaper his Emancipation Proclamation. While not all British newspapers in London informed readers that events in the American responded as fervently as The Times, the vast majority of editors felt Civil War had reached a turning point: obliged to explain the significance of his history-making measure.2 O The Proclamation divided the British press just as it did public We have here the history of the beginning of the end, but who opinion in the United States.3 This article analyses this division can tell how the pages will be written which are yet to be filled before through two major arguments.

    The Báb: Newspaper Articles and Other Publications Published 1845-1859

    THE BÁB: NEWSPAPER ARTICLES AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS PUBLISHED 1845-1859 Jan Teofil Jasion 2019-12-26 Introduction These are only some of the articles that were published during the lifetime of the Báb and the heroic years following His martyrdom. The list represents some 1,490 articles mainly from newspapers but also includes journals, books and a few reference works. This survey is limited mainly to Western Europe, the United States, Australia and New Zealand with articles from a few other regions. Completely missing are articles from Africa, South America, the Middle East and the Far East. This list was composed on bases established by the pioneering work of Moojan Momen (UK), Thomas Linard (France), Amín Egea (Spain) and Steven Kolins (US). These articles confirm the three criteria for the spreading of His Word mentioned by Shoghi Effendi in God Passes By, namely: reaching Western Europe; made known in the capital cities of Europe; and the raising of its head in the mid-most point of the ocean. The last is very moving indeed, since the list shows articles published in the Mediterranean Sea (Majorca), in the Irish Sea (Isle of Man), the Caribbean Sea (Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and Curaçao), the Pacific Ocean (Hawaii, New Zealand and Tasmania), the Indian Ocean (Java) and on islands fringing both coasts of the Atlantic Ocean (Newfoundland and Ireland). The survey has reached a point were it can be said that by 1857 in the British Isles the vast majority of the literate population would have heard of the Báb and His followers.
