Georgia Clarkson Smith is a first-year Ph.D. student in Literature, concentrating on the History of Textual Technologies and transnational modernism and print culture. She is particularly interested in the complex dynamics of negotiation between the individual and the marketplace in modernity; her research focuses on this tension specifically as played out in the pages of women’s and working class mass-market periodicals. She recently published a review of Vol. 6 of the Oxford History of Popular Print Culture in American Periodicals and has presented on Bernarr Macfadden’s Dream World magazine at the PCA/ACA national conference. She is the recipient of the Elliott Butt Loyless doctoral fellowship and is a Research Assistant for FSU’s William Burroughs manuscript archive.

Gabrielle Dean is the Curator of Literary Rare Books and Manuscripts for the Sheridan Libraries, Johns Hopkins University, and Lecturer in the Program for Museums and Society. She is also the managing editor of Archive Journal and an editorial board member of the Dickinson Electronic Archive. Her research focuses on the exchanges between textual and visual culture during the industrial era of print and on the history of the archival imagination. Her exhibition about H. L. Mencken and American magazines was on display at the George Peabody Library in Baltimore in 2009; her exhibition about Stephen Crane as a working writer was up in the spring of 2013. [End Page 129]

Kinohi Nishikawa is an assistant professor of English at the University of Notre Dame, where he specializes in African American print and popular culture.
