As the nineteenth century came to an end, a number of voices within
the British and American magazine industries pushed back against
serialisation as the dominant publication mode, experimenting
instead with less conventional magazine formats. This book explores
these formats, focusing (in particular) on the ways in which the
periodical press first published The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Return of Sherlock
Holmes. What led magazines to publish excerpts from a forthcoming
book, or an entire novel in a single issue, or a discontinuous
short-story series? How did these experimental modes affect the act
of reading? Drawing on a range of archival and other primary
sources, Literary Experiments in Magazine Publishing: Beyond
Serialization addresses these and other questions.
