CONTENTS
In the
Contents List below indented titles indicate separate pages accessed
via the sub-menus. For example: To view "About this Ladies' Page"
click the "Ladies' Page" button in the menu on the left; this will take you to the main Ladies Page where the
sub-menu will appear. Some incidental items - such as a Bicycling Costume of the 1890s, which appears on the Journalism Page, or a female graduate who passed top of the lists above the "Senior Wrangler", which appears on the Ladies' Page on Beautiful Hair - would not be obvious from page titles or summary of
contents. These items are given with links to the appropriate page under "Incidental Topics". On the Features Pages:
JOURNALISM - Victorian Magazines- About Essays and Articles
Want To Be A Journalist? advice from Victorian journalists
Job-hunting hints for those students taking Communications at Work this year. Interesting for anyone considering journalism as a career, as some of the advice has survived the passage of time. The Introduction to "Features" here also includes an item of interest those who enjoyed my "Victorian Crime: Fiction and Fact" course.
