Central to this transformation was the explosion of print trade journals, which fueled the nineteenth-century revolution in British letterpress print design. These journals—more than one hundred of which were founded during the period—became energetic remediators of design reform theory, using this program of ideas to articulate some of Britain's earliest theories of graphic design.","PeriodicalId":44337,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Periodicals Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139371598","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}

This article examines the Tomahawk's concerns about class, culture, and politics through its treatment of the Reform League and its leader, Edmond Beales, to whom no fewer than twenty-eight pieces were devoted between May and December 1867. By analyzing how the Tomahawk presented Beales and his Leaguers as vectors of revolutionary thought, this article argues that, for this \"organ of embattled gentlemanliness,\" the point was not only to condemn the League's political transgression but also to defend British institutions against the risks of extended suffrage.","PeriodicalId":44337,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Periodicals Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139371636","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}

This article locates the magazine in a broader context of the British vegetarian movement in the late nineteenth century and analyzes its content, structure, and tone. It argues that the Daisy Basket can be read as a strategy employed to enable the rise of the young vegetarian subject. Using Michel Foucault's concept of technologies of the self, this essay highlights how the vegetarian movement expanded its operations through the use of relations of power.","PeriodicalId":44337,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Periodicals Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48302715","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}
