Reading Like A Victorian

Abstract

Reading Like a Victorian (RLV) allows users to experience the works of authors such as Dickens, Thackeray, and Eliot as they were first published. The website restores a number of novels to their original serial formatting and places them within a timeline of contemporary works accessible\n to the user. Currently, RLV features some 130 works, of which about a third are serialized fiction. Its content is largely sourced from other open access resources, and the site does not offer the user background information or notes on the works it features. The site is easily navigable,\n but the search function needs improvement.
