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 ¨C 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 ¨C 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.
