| Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke married Emilia Strong in October 1885, a year after the death of her previous husband, Mark Pattison, and a few months after Dilke himself had been named as co-respondent in the Crawford vs. Crawford trial. The divorce case signalled the end of an influential political career; his marriage marked the beginning of a rewarding private life. To all appearances the union was perfectly happy with the partners sharing numerous pursuits and activities. This paper focuses on one of those shared concerns, the weekly journal the "Athenaeum" (1828-1921), owned by Sir Charles. Yet it will mainly highlight the part the weekly played in Lady Dilke's life as a professional art critic, as well as pointing out to what extent she and her husband used this authoritative journal to further other women's careers. Thus, the "Athenaeum" might be considered as the key to a network of women writing at the end of the last century. | |
