SUMMARY:Crime\, Passion and Adventure: Victorian Popular Fiction\, Counter-
 Discourses and Literary Sociology
DESCRIPTION:In nineteenth century Britain\, literacy spread among ever grow
 ing circles of the population. While prose fiction was popular among all c
 lasses\, there were initially quite distinct markets and types of fiction 
 for the working and the middle classes: sensational crime and mystery stor
 ies in particularly cheap formats at one end of the spectrum and the ‘se
 rious’ and expensive realist novel at the other. The popular narratives 
 provided a platform for questioning the dominant middle-class ideologies o
 f the time\, particularly the master-discourse of domesticity. In the late
 r Victorian period\, the distinction between the book markets faded\, and 
 a middle-class readership increasingly solicited the topics previously ass
 ociated with the lower sections of both the print market and society. In t
 his lecture\, I attempt to combine a discourse-theoretical approach with i
 nsights from book history and literary sociology.
