- This collection was published in the Edinburgh History of Women’s Periodical Culture in Britain series, which required at least two co-editors per volume. It is 465 pages long and comprises 27 essays from 29 international contributors. Binckes wrote two-thirds of the General Introduction and two of the five Section Introductions, and an essay on Katherine Mansfield’s contributions to The Adelphi (a total contribution of over 14,000 words).
The collection as a whole addresses the division between ‘modernist’ and ‘modern’ periodical studies, along with a similar division between scholarship on ‘women’s periodicals’ and on female contributions to modern/ist periodical publications. To bridge this gap the editors worked with individual contributors to connect literary material with women’s activism, to include revisionary readings of well-known figures along with recovery work, and to incorporate a section on periodical culture and the arts. Novel forms of analysis were explored: for example ‘distant reading’, and, in Binckes’s own chapter, a blend of periodical studies, book history, and editorial theory.
Editorial responsibilities were shared equally. The number of contributors, the nature of each section, and the content of the introductory materials were all decided by both editors in consultation with the publisher. The editors selected and commissioned the contributors, on the basis of their research interests and publications. Initially, essay proposals were assessed by both editors (who liaised with authors about revisions) to compile a prospectus that was externally reviewed. Binckes had primary editorial responsibility for 16 of the 27 chapters. During the drafting and revision phase, the individual editors worked with their assigned contributors but suggestions for revision were agreed jointly to ensure scholarly rigour and consistency. Both editors compiled the Index.
