{"product_id":"serials-to-graphic-novels-1","title":"Serials to Graphic Novels","description":"The Victorian illustrated book came into being, flourished, and evolved during the nineteenth century. Catherine Golden offers a new framework for viewing the arc of this vibrant form and surveys the fluidity in styles of illustration in serial instalments, British and American periodicals, adult and children's literature, and - more recently - graphic novels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGolden examines widely recognized illustrated texts, such as \u003cem\u003eThe Pickwick Papers\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOliver Twist\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ePeter Rabbit\u003c\/em\u003e, and finds new expressions of this traditional genre in present-day graphic novel adaptations of the works of Austen, Dickens, and Trollope, as well as Neo-Victorian graphic novels like \u003cem\u003eThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen\u003c\/em\u003e. She explores the various factors that contributed to the early popularity of the illustrated book - the growth of commodity culture, a rise in literacy, new printing technologies - and how these ultimately created a mass market for new fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile existing scholarship on Victorian illustrators largely centres on the \u003cem\u003eHousehold Edition of Dickens\u003c\/em\u003e or the realist artists of the \"Sixties\", notably Fred Barnard and John Tenniel, this volume examines the lifetime of the Victorian illustrated book. It also discusses how a particular canon has been refashioned and repurposed for new generations of readers.","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55805373055320,"sku":"9780813062297","price":80.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780813062297.jpg?v=1777707947","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/serials-to-graphic-novels-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
