British Newspapers and Periodicals, 1641–1700
A companion volume to Wing’s Short-Title Catalogue, this book provides the first comprehensive union list of all known British serials of the period. Each serial is listed alphabetically by first title. The first entry for a particular periodical includes a uniform title along with inclusive dates, format, average length, periodicity, editor or author (if known), and bibliographical references. Subsequent issue-by-issue entries list title, number, inclusive dates, place, imprint, year, and the libraries holding a copy of that issue.
The volume contains six indexes, covering period, editor or author, publisher or printer, place, language, and subject. Of particular usefulness for historians is a month-by-month chronological index.
Victorian Novels in Serial
This handy volume provides a general introduction to the practice, followed by many Victorian novelists, of publishing their works in installments in newspapers and magazines.
The bulk of the volume contains charts for 192 novels. Each chart lists the dates of appearance of individual parts and their relation to the chapters of the final book. The authors include Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Makepeace Thackeray, Anthony Trollope, and others.
