  • The Dime Novel Outlaw and Modernity, 1877-83 by David A. Varel
    Defusing Labor Radicalism: The Dime Novel Outlaw and Modernity, 1877-83 By David A. Varel 0 In 1877, a national railroad strike signaled the arrival of an inchoate but powerful labor movement in the United States. Also in 1877, Edward Wheeler wrote and Beadle and Adams published the first dime novel featuring an outlaw as the main protagonist. Far from being unrelated, these two events shared the same historical moment in which industrial capitalism was still new and Americans were in the process of fiercely contesting it. In hindsight it is easy to see the emerging industrial capitalist system as inevitable, but the historical reality was in fact more complicated than that. Though it may require an imaginative leap to envision a society in which industrial capitalism was not yet taken as a given, that very fact hints at the importance of returning to a time when that history was not yet written, when a “producerist” culture resisted an industrial one. Scholars have written much on the labor movement in the United States, highlighting the many battles between labor and capital as well as the often disproportionate power of the state and the internal divisions hampering labor. Less attention has been given to the processes by which workers acculturated industrial values, even though this acculturation surely stymied the workers’ movement as much as anything else. Clearly workers did adopt many of these values, evident in how they often worked within the industrial system for reform, such as shorter hours, higher pay, and safer working conditions. This, no doubt, was due partly to some workers seeing the benefits of industrial life and wanting only to check its excesses.

On the stage of late nineteenth century frontier melodrama, three actors blazed a trail for the cowboy to pass from man to myth. Frank Mayo’s Davy Crockett, William Cody’s Buffalo Bill, and James Wallick’s Jesse James represent a theatrical bloodline in the genealogy of frontier heroes.

  • The Crescent City 4 26 17.Pdf
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Tradit ions By Ned Hémard The Crescent City A young, adventurous Yankee departed November 1, 1834, from his hometown harbor of Portland, Maine, aboard the merchantman Plato. His journey down to New Orleans, and subsequent trip upriver to Natchez, became the basis for a travel journal published in 1835, entitled The South-west by a Yankee, and firmly established an enduring popular name for the city of New Orleans: “The Crescent City”. The itinerant author’s name was Joseph Holt Ingraham (January 26, 1809 – December 18, 1860), only twenty-five years of age when he left New England for the South. Joseph Holt Ingraham Twentieth century readers were re-introduced to the travels of Joseph Holt Ingraham in 1971 with the book New Orleans Is My Name by James Register, printed by Mid-South Press of Shreveport. The Baton Rouge State-Times reported in an article dated November 4, 1971: “The expression of New Orleans as ‘the crescent city’ used as it appears from time immemorial with no thought of its author, comes to light in Register’s book,” a thoughtful condensation of Ingraham’s guidebook. With “vivid word-pictures” Ingraham described the “Creole French, market scenes, French cafes and Creole belles, a gaming house, a Spanish beauty, theaters, bachelors and their haunts,” to name just a few categories in his travelogue. Map of New Orleans, 1834, the same year Madame Delphine LaLaurie’s house was sacked by a mob of outraged citizens. The slave-torturing Creole socialite escaped to France with her family.

A rich academic conversation exists exploring connections between the mythic power of the American frontier and nineteenth century constructions of hegemonic masculinity; this project adds to that conversation by considering the dynamic relationship between frontier narratives and boyhood. This is a cultural history, assessing prominent nineteenth century cultural forms, such as the dime novel and the Wild West show, through the vivid interplay of frontier mythos and boyhood. Through this interplay, these cultural forms brought together late nineteenth century notions of child development, history, and frontier mythology to tell powerful stories about America’s past and create hopeful visions of its future. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A number of people were indispensable to the completion of this project. I want to thank my friends and family for all of their support, especially my wife Lois, whose patience and encouragement during the writing process has been inestimable.

Schafer, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT NAVIGATING NINETEENTH CENTURY NOVELS: LINKING HISTORICAL AND LITERARY PERSPECTIVES TO EXPLORE THE INFLUENCE OF DIME NOVELS IN NINETEENTH CENTURY AMERICA. To set the context, this study will compare what has been written about three layers of literary output in nineteenth century America, and examine what can be learned about the class, race, gender, and culture of the intended readers. The three layers are identified by David Reynolds in Beneath the American Renaissance. Firstly, there was "classic" literature of the American Renaissance writers, secondly, a "genteel sentimental-domestic genre," and thirdly, the "sensational literature" that grew with the rise of the penny press. In order to set the scene, this study examines briefly the rise of the American novel, looks at some contemporary reviews, and as Cathy Davidson suggests in Revolution and the Word does a "careful appraisal of those moments in which literature is written." It also examines the different sectors of society at the time - the interpretive communities, in other words, the reading audience.

  • Dime Novels Were Copyright Deposits
    1 Dime Novels Were Copyright Deposits Judith Nierman Copyright Notices Copyright Representative of an American reading and publishing phenomenon of the second half of the nineteenth century, examples of dime novels have recently been on display in the American Treasures exhibit in the Thomas Jefferson Building. The paperback books, generally about 70,000 words in length, are called “dime novels” because they sold for that price. The covers of the first such stories were printed on salmon colored paper and included a wrapper, but by 1877, that convention ceased. The stories were originally reprints from earlier publications. The term “dime novel” started with the first in a series published by Beadle and Adams of New York that continued from 1860 until 1885. The first few books did not have illustrations, but soon the covers came to include woodcuts, some lurid in content, with shootings, strife with Indians, and other conflicts. The stories generally involved adventure, frequently in the Wild West, and western heroes such as Wild Bill Hickock, Jesse James, and Kit Carson. By 1872, detective stories were added to the dime novel genre, which grew to include medieval romance stories, detective stories, and others. Authors cranked out new stories weekly, if not more frequently. The Beadle and Adams series quickly acquired competitors, such as the Rough Rider Weekly, Munro’s Ten Cent Novels, and the Fireside Series, and even competed with itself with the Frank Starr’s New York Library series. The latter series later became the New York Library. The Library of Congress collections include 40,000 dime novels that represent part of the cultural history of America’s reading public and publishing industry.
