Abstract

This article considers the extent to which reading advice columns and fan mail can be considered evidence of reception by looking Emily Newell Blair’s columns in Good Housekeeping magazine in the 1920s and 1930s. It suggests that while Blair’s columns end up telling us more about the relative range of possible receptions than about any individual moments of reception, they are evidence of a popular embrace of ecumenical middlebrow aesthetics.

作为接受证据的图书建议专栏

这篇文章通过看Emily Newell Blair在20世纪20年代和30年代在《好管家》杂志上的专栏文章，考虑了阅读建议专栏和粉丝邮件在多大程度上可以被认为是接受的证据。这表明，虽然布莱尔的专栏最终更多地告诉我们可能受到的接待的相对范围，而不是任何个别的接待时刻，但它们证明了普遍接受的中庸美学。
