Greenberg: Godey's Lady's Book - Fashion, Patterns. Godey's Lady's Book The beginning of each issue of the Book in the period 1855-1858 contained a hand-tinted engraving of current fashions.
This was followed by several pages that included engravings to illustrate stories and engravings of other fashionable items such as hats, shawls, etc. There were also several pages of "work": embroidery patterns, slipper patters, etc. Brontë Sources, Texts, and Criticism. Search [Rigby, Elizabeth.] "Vanity Fair--and Jane Eyre. " Quarterly Review. 84:167 (December 1848): 153-185. Art. V.—1. 2. 3. A REMARKABLE novel is a great event for English society. There is something about these two new and noticeable characters which especially compels everybody to speak out. We must discuss 'Vanity Fair' first, which, much as we were entitled to expect from its author's pen, has fairly taken us by surprise.
It is this reality which is at once the charm and the misery here. But if these performers give us pain, we are not ashamed to own, as we are speaking openly, that the chief actress herself gives us none at all. No; let us give Becky her due. It is another thing to pretend to settle whether such a character be primâ facie impossible, though devotion to the better sex might well demand the assertion.

Stanford's Dime Novel and Story Paper Collection consists of over 8,000 individual items, and includes long runs of the major dime novel series (Frank Leslie's Boys of America, Happy Days, Beadle's New York Dime Library, etc.) and equally strong holdings of story papers like the New York Ledger and Saturday Night.
Both genres flourished from the middle to the close of the 19th century in America and England (where the novels were known as "penny dreadfuls"), and benefited from three mutually reinforcing trends: the vastly increased mechanization of printing, the growth of efficient rail and canal shipping, and ever-growing rates of literacy. The dime novels were aimed at youthful, working-class audiences and distributed in massive editions at newsstands and dry goods stores. Story papers, weekly eight-page tabloids, covered much the same ground, but often combined material and themes to appeal to the whole family.
