The serialisation of novels within magazines during the nineteenth century created a textual interface or dialogue between two reading experiences: the long-running serial was contained and contextualised by the overarching magazine series. The relationship between the magazine and the serialised novel has been explored in a number of studies (Hughes and Lund, The Victorian Serial; Hughes and Lund Victorian Publishing 11-34 and 96-123; Turner; Wynne; Delafield Serialization) that demonstrate how the serial was accommodated in a timeframe of reading at intervals whilst being horizontally integrated into the forwardmoving periodical. This article draws on these previous studies, and particularly Wynne on Armadale (145-65), as well as my own work on women's diaries (Delafield, Women's Diaries 101-18). The paper analyses the appearance of Wilkie Collins's Armadale in Cornhill Magazine (November 1864 to June 1866) as an illustration of serialisation at the novel/magazine interface. Armadale as a serial demonstrates the impact of these textual interfaces but, as a function of periodical publication, the novel's interface with the Cornhill extended either side of its appearance in the magazine, creating a "long" serialisation.

This special issue was inspired by the Digital Approaches Towards 18th–20th Century Serial Publications conference, which took place in September 2017 at the Royal Academies for Sciences and Arts of Belgium. The conference brought together humanities scholars, social scientists, computational scientists, and librarians interested in discussing how digital techniques can be used to uncover the different layers of knowledge contained in serial publications such as newspapers, journals, and book series. In this introduction, we discuss some of the key concepts the reader will find throughout this volume, how they fit into the digitization and analysis workflow a digital humanities scholar might employ, and where the different contributions to this volume come into play.

The newness of periodical studies? In her recent book on the ongoing relationship between modernism and media, Jessica Pressman makes the convincing claim that modernism-as a "strategy of innovation that employs the media of its time to reform and refashion older literary practices in ways that produce new art"-is "centrally about media" (3-4 emphasis added). Pressman is not the first to link modernist aesthetic innovation to the rapid transformation of media technologies at the turn of the twentieth century; she identifies her indebtedness to media scholars including Friedrich Kittler, Lev Manovich, and Marshall McLuhan, all of whom engage with the new discourse networks afforded by the rise of phonographs, radio, and cinema. She also echoes the work of scholars like Ann Ardis, who argued in 2013 that the turn of the twentieth century is a period of "media in transition, " characterized by a complex "media ecology" that demands "scrupulous attention to both the materiality of print and its intermedial relationships with other communication technologies" ("Towards" 1). While Pressman leaves it out, Ardis and many other scholars make a point of including the periodical press in this media ecology and as part of "the still broader field of 'print

Journal of Modern Periodical Studies, 2018

This article explores the circulation of periodical material between metropolitan and regional locations in early twentieth-century North America. It asks how the globalized consumer technology of the household magazine was being taken up outside of cosmopolitan centers through the framework of local, regional, or national concerns. For example, mainstream Canadian monthlies such as The Western Home Monthly and Maclean's frequently engaged with, or re-used, content and formats taken from New York publications. To understand these transnational publishing dynamics, we argue, it is crucial to attend to the material practices of magazines. The article analyzes several such practices, including both editorial and sales strategies. We look at the reprinting or reframing of complete features and of excerpts from other periodicals. We examine the simultaneous serialization of novels in American and Canadian publications, using a case study of Martha Ostenso's Wild Geese. And we offer the first critical discussion of "bundling," whereby US and Canadian titles were packaged together as a single subscription. It argues that the affordances of seriality, particularly timeliness and increased circulation through decreasing prices, allowed editors to redeploy metropolitan print materials for a regional readership eager to imagine themselves as participants in the new project of modernity.

Periodicals In-Between/Les Périodiques comme médiateurs, 2019

This special issue originates from the seventh annual conference of the European Society for Periodical Research (ESPRit) I was entrusted with hosting in Paris on ‘Periodicals In-Between: Periodicals in the Ecology of Print and Visual Cultures’. The event took place between the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Inalco and Paris-Sorbonne University in June 2018. A bilingual venue, it brought together young and advanced scholars and discussed the complex parts played by periodicals in a rich array of cultural and scientific settings and milieus from numerous points of view: history of literature, art history, press and media, visual studies, comparative literature, theatre studies, scientific cultures, translation and reception studies. A variety of serial publications were considered: reviews, magazines, parts, supplements, pull-outs, journals, annuals, anthologies, book series, newspapers, even a radio broadcast. This special issue proposes a few select contributions developed into ...
