Madeline will present her paper “Reclaiming the ‘Absent Context’ of Late-Victorian Serialized Fiction” at the TM Book History, Print Cultures, Lexicography Forum at the 2019 Modern Language Association Convention. This paper examines key works of late-Victorian serialized fiction that are widely read today in collected and revised formats, focusing on H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds as illustrated by Warwick Goble for Pearson’s Magazine. An analysis of serialized versions alongside collected editions demonstrates the necessity of engaging the various versions of such works in scholarship and pedagogy.
