Utilizing recent developments in book history and digital
humanities, this book offers a cultural, economic, and literary
history of the Victorian three-volume novel, the prestige format
for the British novel during much of the nineteenth century. With
the publication of Walter Scott's popular novels in the 1820s, the
three-volume novel became the standard format for new fiction aimed
at middle-class audiences through the support of circulating
libraries. Following a quantitative analysis examining who wrote
and published these novels, the book investigates the success of
publisher Richard Bentley in producing three-volume novels, the
experiences of the W. H. Smith circulating library in distributing
them, the difficulties of authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson
and George Moore in writing them, and the resistance of new
publishers such as Arrowsmith and Unwin to publishing them. Rather
than faltering, the three-volume novel stubbornly endured until its
abandonment in the 1890s.
