New Issue of 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century on W.T. Stead

New Issue of 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century

The new issue of 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century is now available at http://19.bbk.ac.uk/index.php/19/issue/view/83

When W. T. Stead died on the Titanic he was the most famous Englishman on board. He was one of the inventors of the modern tabloid. His advocacy of ‘government by journalism’ helped launch military campaigns. His exposé of child prostitution raised the age of consent to sixteen, yet his investigative journalism got him thrown in jail. A mass of contradictions and a crucial figure in the history of the British press, Stead was a towering presence in the cultural life of late-Victorian and Edwardian society. This special issue of 19, guest edited by Laurel Brake and James Mussell, celebrates Stead’s life and legacy in all its diversity 101 years on.

There will be a panel session and reception to mark the publication of this issue at the British Library, 14 May 2013, 18:30-20:00. Speakers will be Kate Campbell, Rohan McWilliam, and Tony Nicholson. Attendance is free but attendees must register. Further details here: http://www.bl.uk/whatson/events/event145276.html

New Romantic Circles Praxis volume, “Romantic Numbers,” now available

Romantic Numbers
A Romantic Circles Praxis Volume
Edited by Maureen N. McLane

The six essays in this volume offer a range of mediations prompted by the volume’s title.  These essays explore older and newer logics of “matching” and “counting” and “measuring” (whether statistical, geometric, or otherwise un/calculable); they register as well an upsurge in interest in formal-language, neurocognitive and medial-historical approaches. These essays invite us to think “bodies,” “multitudes,” and “subjectivity” along different axes. They ask us to think about the (romantic) one, the (romantic) proper name, quantity, and quality; they invite us to reflect on the status of poetry and measure, about the work of the novel as totalization, about models of mind, about calculuses of populations and food. Ranging through Wordsworth, Scott, Malthus, Babbage, and Galt (among others), this volume points to new directions in romanticist thinking while reconstructing the complexity of romantic-period thought.
