Continually attacked by government officials and educators,
installment or colportage novels fascinated their underprivileged
readers. Melodrama and sensation were essential ingredients. The
hurriedly written, rambling plots sought to electrify fantasies of
women with new turn-of-the-century aspirations. They also fused raw
political ideas offering populist and paternalist solutions to
society's challenges and tensions. Through the study of one rare,
surviving colportage novel, Peter S. Fisher offers an unusual
mental and visual panorama of a nearly vanished Wilhelmine world.
