Review # 1 was written on 2008-09-24 00:00:00 Wilfredo Yau Louis James's "Fiction for the Working Man, 1830-1850: A Study of the Literature Produced for the Working Classes in Early Victorian Urban England" was published in 1963, and you can feel it in the references to then-current TV shows, comics and fears that popular culture is corrupting the young. But the information is valuable. The author tells us how cheap literature came to be, who the people reading it were, and what changes it went through. From political publishing, to papers about curiosities, to plagiarizing Dickens, to original fiction created to be published in weekly installments (to be continued if the story is successful!), to religious tracts, to historical stories, horror stories and stories about the city and/or town, Louis James takes us all over the two decades, following the literary fads of the time. What starts as a very exciting description, however, started feeling a bit boring after a while - I'm not sure why, but while the summaries of penny-issue novels described exciting tales, reading them felt less than thrilling. All in all, I started reading this quite enthusiastically, and finished much less so. Also, I read this book via Questia, where for some reason the possessive "s" vanished when the name of the author was right before the title of the book, leading to situations where James talked of "Morris Barnett The Yankee Pedlar ( 1836)" or "Dickens Oliver Twist". It got annoying after a while.
