The nineteenth century was a time of revolutionary change and expansion. Britain was one of the world's first industrial, urban superpowers and developed a press to feed the demands of its increasingly literate population. The Nineteenth Century UK Periodicals series covers the events, lives, values, and themes that shaped the nineteenth century world. It provides an invaluable, fully-searchable facsimile resource for the study of British life in the nineteenth century—from art to business, and from children to politics. Few of the materials in this extensive collection have ever been reissued, in any format since original publication. Titles included have been identified and selected by leading scholars in nineteenth century studies; their choices reflect the broad scope and thrust of research and teaching in the twenty-first century.
HarpWeek enables you to directly experience the richness and historical significance of Harper’s Weekly, America's leading 19th century illustrated newspaper.
Liberty: A Weekly for Everybody was founded in 1924 by Robert McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, which he called WGN, the world's greatest newspaper, and his cousin Joseph Patterson, with whom he established the New York Daily News. McCormick and Patterson set out to make the magazine more topical, daring, and exciting than any competitors. Information was presented in a style heavily influenced by the emerging motion-picture industry and focused on the most sensational and popular issues.
The magazine's ongoing circulation of more than three million was founded on the high quality and originality of its art, stories, and other features, as well as upon the strength of its guest contributors.
