This study of a rare, surviving colportage novel offers an unusual mental and visual panorama of a nearly vanished Wilhelmine world.

Continually attacked by government officials and educators, installment or colportage novels fascinated their underprivileged readers. Melodrama and sensation were essential ingredients. The hurriedly written, rambling plots sought to electrify fantasies of women with new turn-of-the-century aspirations. They also fused raw political ideas offering populist and paternalist solutions to society's challenges and tensions. Through the study of one rare, surviving colportage novel, Peter S. Fisher offers an unusual mental and visual panorama of a nearly vanished Wilhelmine world.

Peter S. Fisher received a Ph.D. in Modern European History from Harvard University. His research interests are history and popular culture of the Kaiserreich and Weimar Republic.
