Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Nineteenth-century periodicals were the television of their day. They offered riveting serials, lifestyle recommendations, vivid illustrations by leading artists, and the inevitable advertising. They were shared among readers, who discussed their contents avidly and sometimes read them aloud to local audiences. <br /><em>All the Year Round: Exploring the Nineteenth-Century Periodical</em> tells the story of the rise of the British periodical. The exhibition charts the rapid expansion of periodical publication from the early years of the nineteenth century, when writers like Lord Byron and John Keats were reviewed and reviled, to the last decades of Queen Victoria’s reign, when ‘decadent’ journals caused controversy, the <em>Boy’s Own</em> and <em>Girl’s Own Paper</em> catered to an expanding young readership, and Sherlock Holmes’s appearance in <em>The Strand</em> inspired a devoted following across all classes. <br /><em>All the Year Round</em> takes its title from Charles Dickens’s weekly journal, which reached tens of thousands of readers and featured many of his now classic novels. The exhibition’s strongest presence comes from the satirical London journal <em>Punch</em>, whose columns and cartoons mocked prominent politicians and celebrities and shaped middle-class attitudes. Colonial spinoffs, like <em>Otago Punch</em>, soon spread across the British Empire. While the exhibition primarily features holdings from the University of Otago’s Special Collections and the Hocken Library, it also includes works kindly lent from the Dunedin Public Library and the Olga and Marcus Fitchett Collection. Please enjoy. <br />This exhibition was co-curated by Dr Tom McLean and Dr Grace Moore, both of the English Department, University of Otago

<p class="Normal1">Novelist and Anglican clergyman Charles Kingsley (1819-1875) is closely associated with the notion of ‘muscular Christianity’ (he preferred the term ‘Christian manliness’), a concept combining virtue and power. His most famous work, <em>The Water-Babies</em> (1863), brought together progressive ideas on evolution and social reform with a troubling prejudice against the Irish and people of African descent.</p>

An early admirer of Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites, his ideas influenced Oscar Wilde, William Morris, and Mahatma Gandhi.</p>

<p class="Normal1">In the Victorian era, as today, simply being the offspring of a famous personage was enough to earn fame. The First Duke of Wellington (1769-1852) is remembered for his part in defeating Napoleon at Waterloo, and for serving twice as Prime Minister. His son and heir, the Second Duke (1807-1884), is remembered for very little at all.</p>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1859, Anthony Trollope wrote to Thackeray, the founding editor of the<em> Cornhill Magazine</em>, offering his services as a staff writer for the new periodical and suggesting that he might write five short stories. Trollope offered five short stories, but three days later George Smith, the<em> Cornhill’s</em> publisher, wrote back, offering him £1000 in exchange for a three-volume serialized novel. The first part of <em>Framley Parsonage</em> appeared just after Christmas 1859 (officially, the issue was January 1860). With illustrations by John Everett Millais, Trollope’s story of love, gambling, and theft was both eye-catching and compelling. The new magazine sold 120,000 copies in its first week, although figures later settled down to between 80 and 85,000 each week.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Conan Doyle was able to resign from his work as a doctor from the proceeds of his Sherlock Holmes stories, yet he soon came to resent the great detective as a distraction from what he saw as his true vocation, the penning of historical novels. Doyle attempted to kill the character off in a death struggle with his evil nemesis, Professor Moriarty in ‘The Final Problem’ (1893). However, such was Holmes’s popularity, that Newnes persuaded Doyle to revive the character. Holmes returned to the pages of <em>The Strand</em> in 1901 with <em>The Hound of the Baskervilles, </em>which purported to be a retrospective narrative recounted by a grief-stricken Watson. Doyle famously resurrected his character in 1903’s ‘The Adventure of the Empty House’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The <em>Strand Magazine</em> (1891-1950) was founded by George Newnes, who envisioned it as a journal for the middle-class. It cost sixpence a week. The first editor, H. Greenhough Smith, was keen on publishing stories that featured a recurring hero, often a detective. This approach netted Smith a loyal cohort of readers, and the magazine became known for its crime fiction. Newnes contracted Arthur Conan Doyle to write his Sherlock Holmes tales for the<em> Strand</em>. The great detective had made his debut in <em>A Study in Scarlet, </em>published in <em>Beeton’s Christmas Annual</em> in 1887. Holmes appeared in the<em> Strand</em>’s first issue in 1891, marking the beginning of a long association with the magazine, and with Sidney Paget, the illustrator responsible for Holmes’s now-famous deerstalker hat.

It was published by Leonard Smithers, the book dealer and pornographer, best remembered as one of the few publishers willing to work with Decadent writers (including Wilde) in the aftermath of the Wilde trials. Aubrey Beardsley’s distinctive artwork is present, although there were amendments to the original cover because George Moore, a contributor, complained about a naked cherub urinating on a copy of the <em>Yellow Book</em>. Even heavy-weight contributors like Max Beerbohm, George Bernard Shaw, and W.B. Yeats could not keep the journal afloat in a climate of suspicion and fear.</p>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Nineteenth-century periodicals were the television of their day. They offered riveting serials, lifestyle recommendations, vivid illustrations by leading artists, and the inevitable advertising. They were shared among readers, who discussed their contents avidly and sometimes read them aloud to local audiences. <br /><em>All the Year Round: Exploring the Nineteenth-Century Periodical</em> tells the story of the rise of the British periodical. The exhibition charts the rapid expansion of periodical publication from the early years of the nineteenth century, when writers like Lord Byron and John Keats were reviewed and reviled, to the last decades of Queen Victoria’s reign, when ‘decadent’ journals caused controversy, the <em>Boy’s Own</em> and <em>Girl’s Own Paper</em> catered to an expanding young readership, and Sherlock Holmes’s appearance in <em>The Strand</em> inspired a devoted following across all classes. <br /><em>All the Year Round</em> takes its title from Charles Dickens’s weekly journal, which reached tens of thousands of readers and featured many of his now classic novels. The exhibition’s strongest presence comes from the satirical London journal <em>Punch</em>, whose columns and cartoons mocked prominent politicians and celebrities and shaped middle-class attitudes. Colonial spinoffs, like <em>Otago Punch</em>, soon spread across the British Empire. While the exhibition primarily features holdings from the University of Otago’s Special Collections and the Hocken Library, it also includes works kindly lent from the Dunedin Public Library and the Olga and Marcus Fitchett Collection.

<p class="Normal1"><em>All the Year Round</em> (1859-1895) was founded by Dickens in response to a quarrel with his publishers, Bradbury & Evans. The new journal was strikingly similar to its predecessor, <em>Household Words</em>. Each issue began with an instalment of a novel, with Dickens effectively self-publishing both <em>A Tale of Two Cities</em> and <em>Great Expectations</em>, since he was both owner and editor of the publication<em>.</em> Authors of serials were now identified by name. Sales were typically around 100,000 copies per week, and contributors included Edward Bulwer Lytton, Frances Trollope, and Edmund Yates.</p>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<p class="Normal1"><em>Household Words</em> (1850-1859) was ‘conducted’ and founded by Charles Dickens in collaboration with his publishers, Bradbury & Evans. The publication featured articles dealing with social reform, emigration, and the British Empire, alongside novels in serial form. Works by Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charles Reade, and Dickens’s own <em>Hard Times</em> appeared over the years. Sales sat at around 40,000 copies per week (it was priced at tuppence per issue), although readership could triple for special holiday editions, and this figure does not account for the many working readers who would band together to buy a shared copy. All articles were published anonymously, yet the identities of featured novelists tended to be an open secret.</p>

A summary of the resource.
<p class="Normal1"><em>Bentley’s Miscellany</em> (1837-1868) offered an assortment of serial fiction, short stories, historical writing, reviews (musical, culinary, and literary), and other snippets of information. Charles Dickens served as the journal’s inaugural editor, although he soon severed ties with its owner, Richard Bentley, whose interventionist approach to editing infuriated the up-and-coming novelist. This instalment of Dickens’s <em>Oliver Twist</em> features George Cruikshank’s famous illustration of Oliver asking for more. William Harrison Ainsworth succeeded Dickens as editor in 1839, and his serialized novel, <em>Jack Sheppard</em>, was even more successful than Dickens’s classic tale.</p>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Considered by some to be a pioneer of the ‘new journalism’, the<em> Sketch</em> (1893-1959) was conceived as a lighter alternative to the <em>Illustrated London News. </em>Its focus was on celebrity, culture, metropolitan life, the royal family, and society gossip. Founder and editor Clement Shorter was particularly committed to the use of photography in journalism, preferring it to more traditional techniques such as wood engravings. Sarah Bernhardt was one of the most popular actresses of the day, and she was acutely conscious of the power of the press. These images showcase her many different personae, both on and off the stage. Prominent contributors to the <em>Sketch</em> included Max Beerbohm, Walter de la Mare, and Agatha Christie, who wrote almost 50 stories for the publication.

A summary of the resource.
Annuals first appeared in the 1820s, and they brought together poetry, prose, and art in handsome editions. With titles like <em>Forget Me Not</em> and<em> Friendship’s Offering</em>, they were published in November, just in time for Christmas. The poet and humourist Thomas Hood edited the 1830 <em>Gem</em>. Its frontispiece (inspired by one of the stories included) and title page suggest the ornate style typical of these publications. By the early 1860s, the proliferation of other journals and gift books brought the era of the annual to a close.

A summary of the resource.
Many famous Victorian novels appeared in serial format. As readers eagerly awaited each instalment, authors could respond to public opinion, sometimes changing the fate of a character in a bid to increase sales. Elizabeth Gaskell’s <em>North and South,</em> a serial of life in industrial Manchester, appeared over 20 weeks in Dickens’s <em>Household Words </em>from September 1854 to January 1855. Dickens and Gaskell frequently clashed over editorial matters, so much so that both swore never to work together again. However, Dickens realized Gaskell’s talent and popularity, and lured her back to serial publication with generous remuneration and promises of greater creative freedom.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Nineteenth-century periodicals were the television of their day. They offered riveting serials, lifestyle recommendations, vivid illustrations by leading artists, and the inevitable advertising. They were shared among readers, who discussed their contents avidly and sometimes read them aloud to local audiences. <br /><em>All the Year Round: Exploring the Nineteenth-Century Periodical</em> tells the story of the rise of the British periodical. The exhibition charts the rapid expansion of periodical publication from the early years of the nineteenth century, when writers like Lord Byron and John Keats were reviewed and reviled, to the last decades of Queen Victoria’s reign, when ‘decadent’ journals caused controversy, the <em>Boy’s Own</em> and <em>Girl’s Own Paper</em> catered to an expanding young readership, and Sherlock Holmes’s appearance in <em>The Strand</em> inspired a devoted following across all classes. <br /><em>All the Year Round</em> takes its title from Charles Dickens’s weekly journal, which reached tens of thousands of readers and featured many of his now classic novels. The exhibition’s strongest presence comes from the satirical London journal <em>Punch</em>, whose columns and cartoons mocked prominent politicians and celebrities and shaped middle-class attitudes. Colonial spinoffs, like <em>Otago Punch</em>, soon spread across the British Empire. While the exhibition primarily features holdings from the University of Otago’s Special Collections and the Hocken Library, it also includes works kindly lent from the Dunedin Public Library and the Olga and Marcus Fitchett Collection.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Founded by the Utilitarians Jeremy Bentham and James Mill, the <em>Westminster Review</em> (1824-1914) was known primarily for its social and political engagement. It was neither popular nor successful in its early years. By the 1850s, the <em>Westminster</em> had become a respected journal, noted for its intellectualism. The writer George Eliot was assistant editor from 1851 to 1854, although she had in reality done most of the editorial work herself. ‘Silly Novels by Lady Novelists’ was one of her last essays for the <em>Westminster</em>, and it sought to expose the ridiculous nature of many works for and by women, a concern to which she was to return in her fiction.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
During the 1860s short-lived imitations of the British humour and satirical magazine <em>Punch</em> began. The first was the fortnightly <em>Taranaki Punch</em> (1860–61), followed by the weeklies <em>Canterbury Punch</em> (1865), <em>Otago Punch</em> (1866–67) and <em>Auckland Punch</em> (1868–69). Their cartoons sent up local politicians and contributed to the creation of stock colonial types, such as the raffish but enterprising pastoralist. The Dunedin-produced weekly <em>New Zealand Punch</em> published a few issues in 1888. <em>National Punch</em> was a periodical that started on 25 October, 1873, and finished on 17 January 1874; 12 issues in all. Published by George McCullagh Reed (1831/2-1898) and Henry Brett (1843-1927), and printed at Evening Star Office. Cost 6d per copy; 5s per quarter. According to references in the <em>Star</em>, the publishers had no input into the content of this short-lived satricial magazine.

A summary of the resource.
The <em>Magazine of Science</em> (1840-1849)was another attempt to reach a working-class audience, this time with a focus on science and industry. Its editor, George William Francis, later served as director of the Adelaide Botanic Garden. The 27 April 1839 cover presents a remarkable meeting of two modes of visual representation. Henry Fox Talbot had recently made public his experiments in ‘photogenic drawing’ – one of the earliest photographic processes. Francis copied Fox Talbot’s procedure, then presented his own works to his wood engravers, who produced woodcuts that imitated the new technology. In this way, readers unable to see Fox Talbot’s creations in person could at least have a sense of their characteristics.

A summary of the resource.
Another popular scientific publication, the<em> Magazine of Science, and School of Arts</em> (1840-1849) declared on its frontispiece that it ‘intended to illustrate the most useful, novel and interesting parts of natural history and experimental philosophy, artistical processes, ornamental manufactures, and the arts of life’. While it included some wood engravings, much of the journal was text. Articles included features on lathes, oil paintings, sculptors’ instruments, and insect coloration. It was superseded in 1850 by the <em>Magazine of Science and Artists</em> <em>and Artists, Architects, and Builders Journal</em>.
