Popular commercial fiction emerged in the nineteenth century, with
serialised novels and sensational penny dreadfuls. Today it remains
a multi-million dollar industry giving pleasure to many, but it is
also a field of growing interest for scholars and students of
literature. This Companion covers the major developments in the
history of popular fiction, with specially commissioned chapters on
pulp fiction, bestsellers, and comics and graphic narratives. The
volume also examines the public and personal everyday contexts
within which popular texts are read, highlighting the ways in which
such narratives have circulated across a variety of constantly
changing media, including theatre, television, cinema and new
computer-based digital forms. Case studies from key genres - crime
fiction, romance and Gothic horror - as well as a full chronology
and guide to further reading make this collection indispensable to
all those interested in this complex and vibrant cultural field.
