I use McGann's notion of "bibliographical codes" to examine how it is the material, physical textuality of both periodicals that serves to construct the disctinct type of interdisciplinary modernism that runs through their pages.

Chatelaine promoted maternal feminism with a variety of illustrated content and with mixed results. Hand-drawn imagery in 1928 connoted both individual expression and col- lective national identity. Readers’ material interaction with illustration developed their self- direction, critical judgement, and creativity in how they received editorial, advertising, and aesthetic messages. This made the magazine popular and gave it counterpublic potential. Unfortunately, Chatelaine—an important employer of women at first—replaced much of the illustration by female artists with men’s work and generic photographs after 1932. Ironically, Chatelaine’s celebration of essentialized femininity in pictures and other texts contributed to the exclusion of women from “masculine” illustration jobs, even as such imagery also brought women together in solidarity.
La revue Châtelaine célébrait le féminisme maternel avec un contenu illustré varié. Les résultats ont toutefois été mixtes. Les images dessinées à la main en 1928 représentaient l’expression individuelle ainsi que l’identité nationale collective. L’interaction du matériel de lecture avec les illustrations a aidé les lectrices à développer leur autodétermination, leur jugement critique et leur créativité en assimilant l’article rédactionnel, la publicité et les messages esthétiques. Ceci a rendu la revue populaire et lui a donné un potentiel con- trepublic. Malheureusement, Châtelaine – un employeur important de femmes à ses débuts – remplaça beaucoup de ses illustrations réalisées par des artistes féminines par des œuvres masculines et des photos génériques après 1932. Il est donc ironique que la célébration de la féminité essentialisée de Châtelaine dans ses images et ses textes ait contribué à l’exclusion des femmes dans les emplois demandant des illustrations « masculines », alors même qu’elle regroupait les femmes dans une vague de solidarité.

This essay examines foundational and recent studies of 18th-century periodicals taken as their own genre; when used as supporting texts in cultural studies inquiries; and when studied because of their relationship to canonical writers, such as Addison, Steele, Johnson, Haywood, and Dunton. It suggests that due to the era of the digital humanities, the time is excellent for a renewed exploration of scholarship devoted to and using periodicals, and for expanding their presence in the classroom.
