Description

Explore the complex relationship between commercial interests and literary form in this academic study by Routledge. Focusing on the 1890s, this work examines how the development of the short story in three different British magazines helped shape the dawn of modernism. By looking at how commercial pressures drove formal innovation in popular magazines, this book offers a fresh perspective on literary history. It also examines how anti-commercial opacity functioned as a marketing strategy to attract elite readers. This materialist study combines cultural studies methods with formal analysis to provide a deep look at the period. This research challenges the idea of a "great divide" in modernism, building upon recent scholarly work to provide a new understanding of how literature and commerce interacted. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in literary criticism, cultural theory, and the history of the short story.
