This is a call for pitches to write a chapter for an edited collection tentatively entiled: Devilish, Delightful or Divas? Magazines and Magazine Editors on Screen edited by Rebecca Johinke, University of Sydney, Australia.

 

Routledge are interested in the project but I need several more chapters before I can finalise the book proposal. I'd like to do that by the end of January, if possible.

I already have a strong group of prominent scholars who have committed to writing chapters but there are gaps.

If you have an interest in magazine studies, gender and cultural studies, feminist media studies and/or television studies then please get in touch and I will send you more information.

In 1949, James Playstead Wood described the Saturday Evening Post as “seen and read everywhere. People came to know it as they knew their own names. Its influence was pervasive and immeasurable, spreading simultaneously in many directions. . . . The Post became both a powerful and continuing social force and almost a sign and symbol of the country itself.” Under the editorship of George Horace Lorimer, and for many decades after, the Post was the most widely read U.S. magazine of its era. And yet the Post has been all but invisible in contemporary scholarship on print culture.
