Material Romance

Material Romance: Kidnapped In and Out of Young Folks Paper” appears in the Summer 2020 issue of the Victorian Periodicals Review. In this article, Madeline proposes that the serial publication of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Kidnapped (1886) in Young Folks Paper presents a vision of Highland and Hebrides Scotland that is similar to colonial locales featured in imperial romantic adventure narratives.
