“…Yan (: 368) has recently analysed “the image of Britannia” in Punch cartoons; specifically, its contribution to “tailoring the nation during the Victorian era.” Sharing Maynard's assumption that “dress, as a form of inscription, operates at the level of the body, constructing differences which produce the social body as a textured object with multidimensional layers, touched by the weave of history and culture” (in Tulloch : 362), numerous other studies have also focused on the relationship between fashion, gender, and the formation of national identity (e.g. Goodrum ; Parkins ).…”

This article analyses representations of bourgeois femininity in early twentieth century newspaper coverage of the ceremonial Opening of the Legislature in Ontario, Canada's largest and most populous province. Building on theories that shed light upon the complex processes of material and symbolic reproduction required to reproduce “the idea of the reality of the state,” I argue that mass mediated representations of women's bodies and fashions during this key civic ritual contributed to state formation. The article demonstrates the ways in which newspaper coverage of a particular type of gendered performance reflected and reinforced an imperialist and patriarchal provincial state‐building project.

Costume and the changing facts of finding informationIt is fifty years since the Costume Society was founded and, as Ann Saunders remarked in her editorial for the twenty fifth anniversary edition, the journal is eighteen months younger. 1 When the journal first appeared in 1967 there were very few publications in this subject area. Costume no.4(1970) contained a list entitled 'New Books', the introduction to which stated that, "From time to time, the Committee have been asked to supply a list of recent publications on costume. Here is such a list. The Editor would be most grateful to readers if they would supply additions, particularly references to articles in periodicals." 2 The list that followed contained eighteen books and thirteen articles. The articles were mainly from foreign publications, three were from the German journal Waffen-und Kostűmkunde, two from the Dutch journal Antiek, others were from foreign museum yearbooks; only three were in English, from The Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club, The Connoisseur, and Post-Medieval Archaeology. Over the fifty years the New Books list was compiled by Anne Buck, Kay Staniland, Penelope Byrde, James Snowden (the longest serving compiler 1982-2011), and most recently Anna Buruma. With Costume no.9 (1975) the journal articles became a separate listing from New Books, and were compiled by Naomi Tarrant from then until 2008; Rebecca Arnold compiled 2009 and 10, and in 2011 I took over the compilation. The list of journal articles shows the growth of journals in the field. For many years the triumvirate of Costume (first published 1967), Textile History (first published 1970) and Dress (first published 1975) were the places to publish. Over the last thirty years this has grown with,
