1889 Awful Bench Decker Opening Read Successive Tearful Tranquil Umbrella Volumes Volume
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Victorian-era literature and the deep connection it fostered between readers and their stories. The Three-Decker Novel, depicted here, refers to the popular format of serialized novels published in three volumes during the 19th century. In this photograph, three ladies are seen engrossed in their respective volumes, each representing a different stage of the narrative. The first lady, seated on the bench with a tranquil expression, is lost in the opening chapters of her book, her gaze fixed on the pages before her. The second lady, standing and holding an umbrella, appears more introspective, her brow furrowed as she grapples with the awful disclosures and twists of her volume. The third lady, with a tearful expression, sits on the bench, her hands covering her face as she reaches the tearful denouement of her story. The scene is set in a quiet, sunlit garden, with a dog lying at the ladies' feet, adding to the sense of peace and relaxation. The historical context is further emphasized by the ladies' Victorian attire and the ornate communications equipment in the background, which speaks to the era's fascination with new technologies and their role in facilitating the spread of literature. This photograph, taken in 1889, is a poignant reminder of the power of literature to transport us to different worlds and evoke a range of emotions. The Three-Decker Novel, with its successive volumes, offered readers a unique and immersive experience that continues to captivate us today.
