INDEX TO THE “NATION AND [THE] ATHENAEUM” (N&A), 1921-1931<br>
<br>
<br>
I have indexed the N&A and this is now available publicly. You need to go<br>
to here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.cardbox.com/downloading/server.htm__;!!KGKeukY!kngswntbDVGN6ltuZvCQ22WgpgsUpIKtUSUxspGdOFhLIcA1s7EurpnXPQTRjHeduPs$">https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.cardbox.com/downloading/server.htm__;!!KGKeukY!kngswntbDVGN6ltuZvCQ22WgpgsUpIKtUSUxspGdOFhLIcA1s7EurpnXPQTRjHeduPs$</a>
<br>
<br>
(I have never used a Mac, but you might get somewhere by starting here:<br>
<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.cardbox.com/support/kb.htm__;!!KGKeukY!kngswntbDVGN6ltuZvCQ22WgpgsUpIKtUSUxspGdOFhLIcA1s7EurpnXPQTRuOX1Tk4$">https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.cardbox.com/support/kb.htm__;!!KGKeukY!kngswntbDVGN6ltuZvCQ22WgpgsUpIKtUSUxspGdOFhLIcA1s7EurpnXPQTRuOX1Tk4$</a>
)<br>
<br>
Once you have the Cardbox server installed, double-click on the icon on your<br>
desktop, then click on File: Open. Then click on the Server tag. In the<br>
large white box on the left, there should show: database.cardbox.net. Click<br>
on that and on the View tag. Several databases should appear in the larger<br>
white box on the right, including ‘Virginia Woolf & Bloomsbury’ (also my<br>
database) and ‘Index to the “Nation & Athenaeum”’. Highlight the one you<br>
want and then click on Open. (The databases can only be accessed when you<br>
are online.)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The first issue of the N&A was 19 Feb 1921 and the last was 21 Feb 1931. It<br>
was called "The Nation and the Athenæum" until the issue of 3 Jul 1929 when<br>
it became "The Nation and Athenæum". Each volume consists of 26 weekly<br>
issues and runs either Apr-Sep or Oct-Mar. The first vol. (28) continues the<br>
numbering of the "Nation" and consists of issues 21-26. The last vol. (48)<br>
consists of 21 issues (1-21). Vol. 31 (Apr-Sep 1922) consists of 27 weekly<br>
issues. Vol. 39 (Apr-2 Oct 1926) consists of 26 weekly issues, even though<br>
no issue was published for 7 May, owing to the General Strike. In addition,<br>
a separate Travel Number for Summer 1925 was published in May 1925. These<br>
total 523 issues, and each upper first page is illustrated in the Database,<br>
together with the "Questionnaire on Religious Belief", which was laid into<br>
the issue of 21 Aug 1926, and the first page (221) of the Literary<br>
Supplement of the issue of 9 Nov 1929, which advertises the Hogarth Press.<br>
<br>
There are almost 18,000 entries, covering a similar number of pages,<br>
including supplements. Articles and their authors are indexed together with<br>
page numbers and issue numbers and dates. Attempts have been made to<br>
identify the full(er) names of authors with only initials and pseudonyms.<br>
Not indexed are most advertisements and company reports; however, all<br>
Hogarth Press advertisements are indexed. Where the "marked files" (see<br>
below) are available, it has been possible to include more information, such<br>
as the authors of paragraphs under the headings of "Events of the Week",<br>
"From Alpha to Omega", "Books in Brief", "Plays and Pictures" and "A<br>
Literary Pocket-Book".<br>
<br>
Attempts have been made to identify where articles were reprinted in other<br>
newspapers and magazines and in books, but these are not comprehensive.<br>
<br>
Where the plays of Shakespeare are mentioned, his name has been added if it<br>
does not appear elsewhere on the record.<br>
<br>
The order of the database runs from the first issue of the N&A on 19 Feb<br>
1921, Vol. 28, No. 21 (indexed in the PP "field" as 2821) to the last on 21<br>
Feb 1931, Vol. 48, No. 21 (indexed 4821), followed by the separate Travel<br>
Number for Summer 1925 (indexed: Travel). Within each issue, the entries are<br>
in no particular order.<br>
<br>
"Marked files" are sets of printed issues held by the publishers themselves<br>
and annotated by them to record the authors of unsigned contributions and<br>
sometimes the amount paid for them. Unfortunately, only six volumes of the<br>
N&A are known to be in existence, and these are held by City University,<br>
London. They are:<br>
<br>
<br>
35: 5 Apr-27 Sep 1924<br>
<br>
37: 4 Apr-26 Sep 1925<br>
<br>
38: 3 Oct 1925-27 Mar 1926<br>
<br>
43: 7 Apr-29 Sep 1928<br>
<br>
45: 6 Apr-28 Sep 1929<br>
<br>
47: 5 Apr-27 Sep 1930<br>
<br>
<br>
These vols have been consulted and the findings incorporated in the<br>
database, usually indicated by {wavy brackets}.<br>
