Bound Victorian Periodicals

A view into the Victorian lives can be seen in their magazines and newspapers. Religious groups, women's fashion, childrens' magazines, and political discussions all had periodicals published and later bound. Godey's magazine, Punch, The Penny Magazine, The Edinburgh Review, and dozens of other periodicals all made reading readily available. These magazines and newspapers were often illustrated by some of the great artists of the time.

During the era, a publishing trend rose to popularity in the world of the novel called serialized fiction. The greatest novelists of the time, including Charles Dickens, George Eliot, William Thackeray and Joseph Conrad, chose to publish their newest works of fiction in installments. These installments often ran in popular magazines and newspapers, later bound into annual or semi-annual format. Because this format was more affordable, people outside of the upper class could purchase books for the first time.

American periodicals then came along to gave us a glimpse into life during the Civil War. A few of the more notable were:

The American Missionary (1878 - 1901) ; The American Whig Review (1845 - 1852) ; The Atlantic Monthly (1857 - 1901) ; The Century (1881 - 1930) ; The Continental Monthly (1862 - 1864) ; The Galaxy (1866 - 1878) ; Harper's New Monthly Magazine (1850 - 1930) ; The Living Age (1844 - 1900) ; ; The New England Magazine (1886 - 1900) ; The New-England Magazine (1831 - 1835) ; The North American Review (1815 - 1900) ; Putnam's Monthly (1853 - 1870) ; Scientific American (1846 - 1869) ; Scribner's Magazine (1887 - 1896) ; Scribner's Monthly (1870 - 1939)
