En torno a los libros de ensayo.

Richard Steel y Joseph Addison han nacido en el mismo año 1672 y mueren dos años antes el segundo que el primero. En la historia de la literatura inglesa sus publicaciones periódicas son importantes. La de Steel se llama el Tatler y la de Addison, el Spectador. Su influencia fue crucial. El ensayo se ha definido, se le considera desde entonces un nuevo género literario, con el precedente de los ensayos de Montaigne, de los tratados de Erasmo, etcétera. Eran periódicos destinados a vivir muchos años más que los libros. España es un país rico en ensayistas. Los hay en todas las épocas, sobre todo, a partir de la generación del noventa y ocho. El ensayo es un género muy apropiado a los espíritus sutiles, penetrantes, observadores, minuciosos de la vida y de los objetos. El género da también valor de primordialidad a lo que a veces se considera secundario. Destaca tan cultivado ensayista como Joaquín de Entrambasaguas, catedrático de Historia de la Lengua española en la Universidad Central de Madrid, cuyos ensayos demuestran una exquisita sensibilidad y maestría para enfocar los problemas del mundo.

The literary dawn: re-reading Louisa Lawson's poetry and politics

Scholarship on Louisa Lawson and the Dawn has necessarily often focussed on the important and wide-ranging achievements of her feminist work for women's legal, social and political rights. Indeed, as Audrey Oldfield notes, "Louisa Lawson was one of the most important figures in the New South Wales woman suffrage movement" (261). However, I want to focus here on the periodical publishing context of the Dawn as a means of pointing to further discussions of Lawson's significance as a poet. Megan Roughley has noted that the Dawn "was a forum for political causes, especially the movement for the emancipation and enfranchisement of women, and, as importantly to Louisa, the temperance movement" (ix), with influential articles appearing on a wide range of important issues including divorce reform. Yet, Lawson's construction of the Dawn was also highly literary from its first issue, with editorial choices and literary references reflecting her awareness of political and feminist literary culture. In addition to references such as the above quotation from Tennyson, Lawson included an epigraph from Joseph Addison's play Cato in the list of contents: "A day, an hour, in virtuous liberty, is worth a whole eternity in bondage." Citing Addison, a significant figure in the American Revolution, demonstrates Lawson's linking of radical class politics with feminism, as well as highlighting the importance of literary dialogues to Lawson's publishing work. Likewise, the concerns of Lawson's poetry are clearly situated within a continuing female tradition, and Lawson's poetry, when examined in the feminist literary context of the Dawn, reveals a radical and sophisticated poetics.
