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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Victorian Studies is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
