We offer our congratulations to all winners, we thank all who applied, and we offer our deepest gratitude to all who served on the award committees, including: Alison Chapman, Julie Codell, David Finkelstein, Jennifer Hayward, Melisa Klimaszewski, Klaudia Hiu Yen Lee, Michael de Nie, Christopher Pittard, Michelle Smith, Clare Stainthorp, Richard Scully, Fariha Shaikh, Margaret D. Stetz, Caroline Sumpter, Marianne Van Remoortel, Minna Vuohelainen, Candace Ward, and Russ Wyland.</p> <h2>Colby Book Prize</h2> <p>The Colby Prize is intended to honor original book-length scholarship about Victorian periodicals and newspapers, of the kind that Robert and Vineta Colby themselves produced during their careers. The annual prize is awarded to a book published during the preceding year that most advances our understanding of the nineteenth-century British press.</p> <p>This year's Colby Book Prize winner is W. Hamish Fraser for <em>The Edinburgh History of Scottish Newspapers, 1850–1950</em> (Edinburgh University Press, 2023). The award committee noted that the book was \"comprehensive, meticulously researched and argued, and impressively wide in scope.\"</p> <p>In addition, the award committee singled out Graham Law's <em>The Periodical Press Revolution: E. S. Dallas and the Nineteenth-Century British Media</em> (Routledge, 2023) for honorable mention. <strong>[End Page 692]</strong></p> <h2>Mitchell Dissertation Prize</h2> <p>The Sally Mitchell Dissertation Prize was established in 2020 to honor Sally Mitchell, a longstanding and highly valued member of RSVP who served on the organization's board and its senior advisory committee. The prize is awarded annually to the best PhD dissertation, defended in the previous calendar year, that explores the nineteenth-century British periodical press (including magazines, newspapers, and serial publications of all kinds) as an object of study in its own right, not as a source of material for other historical topics.</p> <p>The winner of the 2024 Mitchell Dissertation Prize is Ellen Packham for her dissertation, \"Literary Constructions: British Engineers and their Journals, c. 1760–c. 1860.\"</p> <p>The committee also singled out Charlotte Lauder's dissertation, \"Popular Scottish Magazine Culture, 1870–1920: Press, Print, Nation,\" for honorable mention.</p> <h2>Leary Field Development Grant</h2> <p>The Patrick Leary Field Development Grant is named for long-time RSVP supporter, board member, and former president Patrick Leary.

Roob argues that the essentially ephemeral graphic content of magazines has endured the contempt of traditional art-historical interest and been marginalised by comics studies scholars and photographic historians. Anxiety over the extent to which magazine illustration has been implicated in structuring and sustaining various imperial and nationalistic projects has further hampered scholarly attention. However, studying nineteenth-century magazine illustration illuminates contemporary concerns such as the nature of press censorship and the ways in which racial and national stereotypes are developed through everyday images. &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 678]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Despite its title, this book might at first seem less an ambitious history of press graphics than a commercially oriented anthology that, by using the spectacular reprographic resources for which Taschen is well known, brings together and exploits visually attractive source material. Like many Taschen volumes, this one is preposterously large and glamorous. It gives off a wondrous sheen that will be entirely unfamiliar to those scholars who sit day by day in library reading rooms studying volumes of faded and often browning periodicals. Never intended to be a simulacrum of the huge range of European and American magazines that it displays, the book reengineers a mass of nineteenth-century periodicals into a postmodern artifact of often startling, even visceral, visual appeal. It reproduces a wondrous mass of rare material for a wide and multinational readership of book lovers and the intellectually curious, and it gives shape to that mass through an interesting and well-considered sequence of chapters that map simultaneous developments across Europe and the United States. Roob's book joins the even more wide-ranging Bloomsbury &lt;em&gt;History of Illustration&lt;/em&gt; (2019) in providing a visually arresting overview of the images that formed a staple element in mass-circulation cheap print during the nineteenth century, images that speak of and to their own cultural moment as well as our own.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The multilanguage text—English, German, and French—unsurprisingly concentrates on British, French","PeriodicalId":44337,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Periodicals Review","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142183411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hughes, &lt;em&gt;Victorian Women Writers and the Other Germany: Cross-Cultural Freedoms and Female Opportunity&lt;/em&gt; ( Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022), pp. xiv + 282, $99.99/ £75.00 hardcover. &lt;p&gt;Returning from a trip to Germany in 1841, Elizabeth Gaskell recalled her surprise and delight in meeting Mary Howitt in Heidelberg, not least because the Quaker author was dressed in colourful satin and sported a leghorn bonnet with drooping white feathers. More than a decade later, Marian Evans—in Weimar on what was, in effect, her honeymoon with George Henry Lewes—observed with interest that women attended the theatre unaccompanied, something unimaginable in London at that time. A country that permitted such personal freedom, whether sartorial or more substantial, proved attractive to successive Englishwomen, Linda K. Hughes argues in her wide-ranging and impressively researched new book, &lt;em&gt;Victorian Women Writers and the Other Germany: Cross-Cultural Freedoms and Female Opportunity&lt;/em&gt;. Hughes selects ten women writers whose travels in Germany from the 1830s through the first decade of the twentieth century engendered a sense of freedom, both personal and intellectual, and created opportunities that were not available at home. Some, like Gaskell, Howitt, and the future George Eliot, travelled with partners and children. Others, like Anna Jameson, Jessie Fothergill, Michael Field (the pen name of Katherine Bradley and her niece Edith Cooper), and Amy Levy, travelled on their own. At the end of the century, Elizabeth von Arnim and Vernon Lee encountered Germany as expatriates, bringing a transnational perspective to the experience.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The \"other\" Germany of Hughes's title is the Germany of talented, independent women and their circles, from whom each generation of English-women &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 676]&lt;/strong&gt; directly or indirectly benefited. The first chapter, on Anna Jameson, Ottilie Von Goethe, and their \"women's network,\" describes the impact of Goethe's gifted daughter-in-law on Jameson. Theirs was one of the great women's friendships of the nineteenth century, as Hughes recounts. Her research reveals a passionate Jameson, in love with Ottilie, devotedly caring for the latter's illegitimate child, and writing &lt;em&gt;Social Life in Germany&lt;/em&gt; (1840) in collaboration with her. Mary Howitt spent three years in Germany with her husband William, making contacts that would later prove useful in &lt;em&gt;Howitt's Journal&lt;/em&gt; (1847–48). Their daughter Anna Mary Howitt was an art student in Munich, taking private tuition from a professor at the university because women were not permitted to register.
