THE VICTORIA PRESS CIRCLE

My digital project, The Victoria Press Circle, funded by Princeton's Center for Digital Humanities, offers open-access network graphs of the women and men involved in the Victoria Press, based on contents of the EWJ and 190 other books and pamphlets, all printed by women. The Victoria Press Circle's first aim is reconstruction: the project helps to establish the history of the Victoria Press, since there is no existing archive. This is especially important since the EWJ includes a high percentage of unsigned contributions. None of the women who published in the EWJ currently have significant digital representation. Identifying them as individuals combats the critical undervaluing of texts in female-produced periodicals, and studying them as a group highlights authors who may not receive attention individually.
