      ab: This article focuses on Lauren Gillingham's book *Fashionable Fictions and the Currency of the Nineteenth-Century British Novel*, which offers an alternative history of the novel by linking eighteenth-century criminal fiction to twenty-first-century Twitter fiction through nineteenth-century subgenres. Gillingham analyzes the silver-fork, Newgate, and sensation novels, arguing that these genres engage with the temporality of the fashion system to reflect and narrate social and cultural changes of their time. The book situates these novels within broader literary and print cultures, highlighting their narrative innovations and the influence of media on concepts of selfhood and public identity. Gillingham concludes by connecting these historical genres to contemporary digital fiction, emphasizing their ongoing relevance in the evolution of narrative form.
