| One way to understand such minor genres as silver-fork novels is to trace the reactions of their readers. The Athenaeum, founded in 1828, is especially valuable for such a project, as it reviewed most of these novels and prided itself on its independence from publishers' puffery. From the beginning, Athenaeum reviewers hoped for the end of fashionable novels, attacking them for their quantity, their style, and their content. More importantly, they saw them as what N. N. Feltes calls commodity texts, produced in response to the mass reading audience. | |
