Research summary
My interest within this project lies with examining how the theme of emigration and immigration were discussed in British and American newspapers. The history of European migration to North America and Canada throughout the nineteenth century is one of the best-researched instances of mass migration waves in the modern world. Newspapers were important in facilitating emigration, as they provided useful information for potential emigrants about the journey and destination country through advertisements of the numerous associated businesses involved in the trade of emigration: shipping companies, emigration agents and so on. These newspapers also extensively discussed the merits and drawbacks of mass emigration and this project aims to uncover dominant and recurring themes in the British and American corpora of the late nineteenth century.
