Catherine Golden, professor of English, has a new book, (2017, University Press of Florida). According to the publisher, the book examines illustrated texts such as The Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, and Alice in Wonderland, and explores factors that contributed to the popularity of the illustrated book—the growth of commodity culture, a rise in literacy, new printing technologies—and that ultimately created a mass market for illustrated fiction. In her final chapter, Golden calls graphic novel adaptations of Victorian classics an heir of the Victorian illustrated book and examines how canonical texts have been refashioned visually for new generations of readers.
