For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Town Topics. The Journal of Society, magazine published in New York (1885-1937) Subject The topic of the resource Gossip--Published Scandal Journalists/Writers Gender Norms Intimacy--As Source Intimacy--As topic Description An account of the resource Town Topics, published in New York, was "the preeminent society gossip magazine in the 1880s and 1890s" (Knight 1055). When William d'Alton Mann took over, he "turned it into a scandal sheet of a brazenness never equaled since" (<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/21/opinion/new-yorks-school-for-scandal-sheets.html">New York Times</a>). He also developed a blackmail scheme that eventually ended the magazine. The magazine included theater and literature reviews as well as a financial section. Its core component, however, was the muli-page column "Saunterings," in which a thinly vailed d'Alton shared intimate details about members of the high society of (mainly, but not exclusively) New York. "Saunterings" is marked by a narrative voice, which addresses their readers as personal acquaintances with whom the Saunterer shares opinions and judgments about people mutually known. At the same time, the Saunterer stresses the professionalism of the business modell behind his ability to share gossip about the rich and famous with his readers (correspondents in multiple cities etc). <a href="https://journals.openedition.org/ejas/16423"></a> <h3>Credit</h3> <a href="https://www.nypl.org/">New York Publich Library</a> / <a href="https://www.amdigital.co.uk/primary-sources/everyday-life-and-women-in-america-c1800-1920">"Everyday Life and Women in America, c.1800-1920" by Adam Matthew</a> Type The nature or genre of the resource Reference Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 0973 gossip--published press coverage
