Serial Culture in the Nineteenth Century: George W.M. Reynolds, the Many Mysteries of London and the Spread of Print

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Propelled by new printing and dissemination technologies, a global network of print and electronic media and communications had enveloped much of the globe by the end of the nineteenth century. Part of this network was an explosion of serial print media and terminology categorizing such media in the press and on the literary marketplace. G.W.M. Reynolds’s The Mysteries of London serves as a case study on the unruliness of the serial city mystery genre, as well as the necessity of centering the serial in discourse on nineteenth-century popular media.
