Description:

This seminar examines the history of publishing in the 19th and early 20th centuries, from lending libraries and the three-volume novel to the banned books of modernism. We will investigate the role of the periodical, the circulating library, editors, publishers, and readers in the writing and reception of novels during this period. We will also pay attention how structures of publishing - such as magazine serialization or the moral censorship of Mudie's Lending Library - led to new forms of fiction. Authors will include Austen, Collins, James, Gissing, Joyce, and Woolf. (Writing-intensive.) Prerequisite, One 200-level course in Literature. (1700-1900) Maximum enrollment, 20. Gannon.
