Abstract:

Sarah Atkinson's significant friendship with Bessie Rayner Parkes becomes visible only by tracing it through letters, memoirs, and articles published in a range of nineteenth-century periodicals. These archival excavations reveal a complex and empowering transnational network forged across apparently conservative, often male-dominated, and mainly Catholic publications as well as publications edited and managed by women writers and philanthropists. Demonstrating the nineteenth-century periodical to be both an enabling space for professional women writers and an important historical archive, this article tracks intersections in Atkinson's and Parkes's social, philanthropic, literary, and ultimately feminist activism.

摘要：

莎拉·阿特金森 (Sarah Atkinson) 与贝西·雷纳·帕克斯 (Bessie Rayner Parkes) 的深厚友谊只有通过信件、回忆录和发表在 19 世纪一系列期刊上的文章才能看出。这些档案挖掘揭示了一个复杂而强大的跨国网络，该网络跨越明显保守的、通常由男性主导的、主要是天主教的出版物以及由女性作家和慈善家编辑和管理的出版物。为了证明 19 世纪的期刊既是职业女性作家的有利空间，也是重要的历史档案，本文追踪了阿特金森和帕克斯在社会、慈善、文学以及最终女权主义激进主义方面的交叉点。
