Freewomen and Supermen adds to the comparatively recent body of research which has sought to re-evaluate the literature and culture of the 'long' Edwardian period (1900-1914). It singles out the editors of two of the most important magazines for the history of modernism, Dora Marsden, editor of the Freewoman (later renamed the New Freewoman and then the Egoist) and A.R. Orage, editor of the New Age. Together with other editors such as Emma Goldman in America, Marsden and Orage fostered an optimistic, colourful, aube-de-siècle culture to rival the fin-de-siècle culture of the preceding decade. Their magazines were interdisciplinary in approach, with articles on literature and philosophy appearing alongside discussions of such matters as anarchism, eugenics, suffragism, suburban architecture, vegetarianism, and the 'intermediate sex'. Anne Fernihough argues that the often extreme positions adopted amongst 1900s radicals on both sides of the Atlantic were a response to a period of political turmoil and startling demographic and technological change. Their radicalism impacted in its turn on a wide range of literary forms, contents and theories, and continued to so beyond the First World War and into the 'high modernist' period. The book discusses both British and American writers across different genres, including Henry James, Dorothy Richardson, Upton Sinclair, Rebecca West, James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, May Sinclair, Virginia Woolf, T. E. Hulme, Ezra Pound, Theodore Dreiser, Katherine Mansfield, Robert Tressell, and Gertrude Stein. Other cultural figures discussed include the sexologists Otto Weininger and Edward Carpenter, and the diet-reformer, Horace Fletcher. The film and television industries have often capitalised on a nostalgic vision of the Edwardian, but Freewomen and Supermen emphasises the more embattled aspects of Edwardian culture such as anarchism, suffragism, eugenics and food-reform, and shows how Edwardian radical thought was to play a crucial role in the development of literary modernism.

Reviews of the hardback edition:'A meticulously detailed and thought-provoking look at Grub Street.'Times Literary Supplement'All the essays have insightful things to say about their individual authors as writers for the periodical press.'Media History'An effective geneaology of modern journalism from the early nineteenth century through to the 1930s.'Sally Ledger, Birkbeck CollegeJournalism has often been disregarded or represented as 'other' by literary critics and authors. The sense of its difference from literature has been heightened by its identification with daily newspaper journalism and reporting. Yet 'journalism' in its broadest sense refers to all writing in public journals, spanning both high and popular culture. It has been central to experiences of modernity, making its dismissal problematic.This book considers journalism in all its diversity, examining writing in journals across the cultural spectrum including literary journals, magazines and daily newspapers. Presenting a variety of critical approaches, the authors explore journalism's importance in relation to gender, modernity and modernism. They offer readings of established writers, critics and journalists:* William Hazlitt* Charles Dickens* Henry Mayhew* Matthew Arnold* Walter Pater* Dora Marsden* Rebecca West* Virginia Woolf* Laura RidingThis book challenges received ideas of journalism's significance in literary and cultural history, as well as perceptions of modernity and modernism.Key Features:*Considers journalism in both its 'high' and 'low' cultural forms*Explores journalism's importance in relation to gender, modernity and modernism*Includes chapters on Hazlitt, Dickens, Arnold and Woolf

Rebecca West knew as far back as 1926 that Dora Marsden was 'one of the most marvellous personalities that the nation has ever produced" yet it has taken over 60 years (and 30 since Dora's death) for this to be recognised. Born in 1882, Dora Marsden had what could only be described as a remarkable life--teacher at 13, university student at 18, head of a teacher training centre in her early 20's, giving this up to become a well-loved and nationally known suffragette, famous for her reckless bravery and, in West's words, 'exquisite beauty". -- Back cover.
