"In the early 1800s, books were largely unillustrated. By the 1830s and 1840s, however, innovations in wood- and steel-engraving techniques changed how Victorian readers consumed and conceptualized fiction. A new type of novel was born, often published in serial form, one that melded text and image as partners in meaning-making. These illustrated serial novels offered Victorians a reading experience that was both verbal and visual, based on complex effects of flash-forward and flashback as the placement of illustrations revealed or recalled significant story elements. Victorians' experience of what are now canonical novels thus differed markedly from that of modern readers, who are accustomed to reading single volumes with minimal illustration. Even if modern editions do reproduce illustrations, these do not appear as originally laid out. Modern readers therefore lose a crucial aspect of how Victorians understood plot--as a story delivered in both words and images, over time, and with illustrations playing a key role. In The Plot Thickens, Mary Elizabeth Leighton and Lisa Surridge uncover this overlooked narrative role of illustrations within Victorian serial fiction. They reveal the intricacy and richness of the form and push us to reconsider our notions of illustration, visual culture, narration, and reading practices in nineteenth-century Britain"--

A partir des années 1830, notamment en France et en Angleterre, la littérature commence à s'industrialiser, grâce à l'essor des journaux et périodiques à grand tirage. Cette poussée commerciale donne naissance à un mode de publication inédit, le roman-feuilleton, caractérisé par le découpage des romans en tranches publiées à intervalles réguliers. Mais ce contexte éditorial en pleine effervescence a-t-il exercé une influence sur les techniques d'écriture des feuilletonistes ? Et si c'est le cas, dans quelle mesure ces derniers ont-ils dû forger une rhétorique nouvelle pour répondre aux exigences des feuilletons ? Dans cette perspective, quelle part convient-il de faire à la résurgence de genres déjà établis comme le mélodrame, le gothique et le roman d'aventures ? Or, les mêmes questions se posent lorsque l'on considère les productions plus récentes de l'héritière la plus importante du roman-feuilleton, la série télévisuelle.Cet ouvrage se propose donc de mettre en lumière la spécificité de l'écriture sérielle dans sa double manifestation littéraire et télévisuelle et de retracer les multiples convergences narratives et formelles qui la traversent, qu'il s'agisse d'interactions avec le théâtre ou de métissages génériques menant parfois à l'émergence de genres nouveaux.

Every writer is a player in the marketplace for literature. Jonathan Paine locates the economics ingrained within the stories themselves, showing how the business of literature affects even storytelling devices such as genre, plot, and repetition. In this new model of criticism, the text is a record of its author's sales pitch.
