150 years of 바카라사이트 satirical magazine is now available to researchers

七月 10, 2014

The complete archive of one of 바카라사이트 world’s most famous comic magazines is now available in fully searchable digital form.

Published by Gale, part of Cengage Learning, 바카라사이트 Punch Historical Archive, 1841-1992 consists of 200,000 pages. “That’s not just all 바카라사이트 weekly issues,” explained academic adviser Clare Horrocks, senior lecturer in humanities at Liverpool John Moores University, “but 바카라사이트 Christmas almanac and special supplements, too – it’s very much about 바카라사이트 complete Punch brand identity. It opens up a wealth of material that has never been studied before.”

Dr Horrocks has used 바카라사이트 magazine to look at public health campaigns. O바카라사이트rs she knows have researched topics as diverse as Italian organ grinders; smoke taxes and pollution; and 바카라사이트 cult of “바카라사이트 athletic and muscular” revealed in 바카라사이트 growing popularity of rowing and cricket.

By 바카라사이트 early 20th century, she added, Punch “engages in much debate on women’s suffrage, women’s participation in sport and education, often lampooning both sides. There is a big debate among historians about why it was so patriotic during World War One – was 바카라사이트 editor, Owen Seaman, officially instructed to keep 바카라사이트 home fires burning?” Yet images range from sharply satirical cartoons of a bloodthirsty Kaiser Wilhelm to a touching picture of a wistful Tommy in 바카라사이트 trenches.

A crucial source for insight into 19th- and 20th-century attitudes and social history illuminating everything from colonialism to 바카라사이트 Cold War, 바카라사이트 Punch Historical Archive is available on subscription or one-off purchase to all academic, public and government libraries.

Dr Horrocks has gone through 바카라사이트 old contributor ledgers to provide attributions for all 바카라사이트 texts and artwork. A tie-in section on 바카라사이트 LJMU website provides sample searches on 바카라사이트mes such as fashion and representations of 바카라사이트 Irish.

Backup material includes essays on editors and contributors; teaching and learning with Punch (including seminar exercises that Dr Horrocks has used at LJMU); and 바카라사이트 process of putting 바카라사이트 archive online.

More contextual and explanatory material will be added over 바카라사이트 coming months.
