世紀末の英国では、都市部の中流階級を中心に、従来の女性像の範疇でとらえられないタイプの女性たちが出現します。今日「新しい女=New Woman」と称され、英国文学、文化史の研究テーマの一つとなっているこれらのグループは、選挙や教育の機会均等を求めると同時に、職業人として社会での自立を目指します。このNew Womanたちに人気を得た専門職業の一つがジャーナリストでした。新聞、雑誌の読者層が、大衆、女性へと広がったヴィクトリア朝後期、婦人向けの家庭誌だけでなく、一部の一般誌紙も女性執筆者を迎え入れますが、それは保守的男性ジャーナリスト達の反感も招き、Gentleman’s Magazine、Pall Mall Magazineといった主要評論誌も含め様々な論争を呼びます。また、世紀末文学のなかにも女性ジャーナリストを主人公とした小説がしばしば発表されます。これらの同時代の文献では、しばしば揶揄や批判の対象とされながらも、社会との軋轢を乗り越え、20世紀初頭にはThe Freewoman、The Egoistといった、女性による優れた雑誌を生むことになります。
ヴィクトリア時代の女性の社会的役割の変化、女性と職業というテーマは、いまでは女性史の確立した研究分野となっていますが、近代ジャーナリズム成立期における女性ジャーナリストについての研究も最近注目を集めており、Margaret Beetham, A Magazine of Her Own?, 1996, Barbara Onslow, Women of the Press in Nineteenth Century Britain, 2000, Hilary Fraser et al., Gender and the Victorian Periodical, 2003など優れた研究書が発表され始めています。しかしながら、このテーマの教育と、さらなる研究の展開に必要とされる同時代の史・資料は極めて入手が困難でした。今回出版されるこの文献集は、この欠落を埋めるべく、女性ジャーナリストや彼女たちと新聞・雑誌社との関係、女性の専門職業としてのジャーナリスト、彼女たちの執筆活動、そして世紀末英国社会における位置といった問題についての一次文献と、この時代に数多く発表された女性ジャーナリストをテーマにした小説など合計49点の資料を収録します。テーマ別4巻に収録し、編者による詳しい解説と、対象とされた新聞、雑誌に関する情報を付録します。
英国女性史、ヴィクトリア朝〜モダニズム文化史などの研究だけでなく、近代ジャーナリズム・出版史研究にもどうぞご利用ください。
