At the turn of the twentieth century, the publishing industries in
Britain and the United States underwent dramatic expansions and
reorganization that brought about an increased traffic in books and
periodicals around the world. Focusing on adventure fiction
published from 1899 to 1919, Patrick Scott Belk looks at authors
such as Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells, Conan Doyle, and John Buchan to
explore how writers of popular fiction engaged with foreign markets
and readers through periodical publishing. Belk argues that popular
fiction, particularly the adventure genre, developed in ways that
directly correlate with authors' experiences, and shows that
popular genres of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
emerged as one way of marketing their literary works to expanding
audiences of readers worldwide. Despite an over-determined print
space altered by the rise of new kinds of consumers and
transformations of accepted habits of reading, publishing, and
writing, the changes in British and American publishing at the turn
of the twentieth century inspired an exciting new period of
literary invention and experimentation in the adventure genre, and
the greater part of that invention and experimentation was
happening in the magazines.
