Frequently identified as sensational literature filled with violent
characters, intricately woven plots, changing identities and
confusion between issues of right and wrong, many considered the
Dime Novel guilty of sending serious and improper messages to the
day's impressionable youth. Though read by many from the middle of
the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, these short,
pocket-sized publications were severely criticized. This work looks
at the authors, publishers, illustrators, and subject matter of the
dime novel. Other types of children's literature, such as story
papers, chapbooks, broadsides, serial books, pulp magazines, comic
books and today's paperback books are discussed, as well. American
life and thought and how they reflect cultural nationalism through
their ideological teachings in personal morality and ethics,
humanitarian reform and political thought; a study of the dime
novel's contribution to the genre of children's literature is thus
provided. Eight appendices are offered: Appendix A provides a
chronology of the Dime Novel and related works from 1860-1902;
Appendix B is an annotated bibliography of Dime Novels; Appendix C
lists Series Books; Appendix D lists Story Paper periodicals;
Appendix E is a chronological list of significant children's
literature published year by year; Appendix F provides pseudonyms;
Appendix G is a list of character names and Appendix H is a
biographical dictionary. A book and periodical reference section,
an index and illustrations are all included.
