Nineteenth-Century American Women's Serial Novels explores the
prolific careers of four exemplary novelists - E. D. E. N.
Southworth, Ann Stephens, Mary Jane Holmes, and Laura Jean Libbey.
These commercially successful writers helped to shape the popular
tradition of serial magazine fiction by drawing on readers' tastes
along with their cultural concerns. Their astonishing productivity
led magazine editors and publishers to return to them repeatedly
for more serials to be turned into even more novels, even as they
reprinted these fictions under new titles. Dale M. Bauer analyzes
how serials deployed the repetition of plots and the traumas
representing the sources of women's anxieties and pain. Arguing
that these novels provided temporary resolutions to the social,
economic, and psychological tensions that readers faced, Bauer
explains how this otherwise forgotten archive of fiction now offers
an extraordinarily expanded range of women's literary effort from
the nineteenth to the twentieth century.
