Indexes of fiction in specific Australian newspapers and magazines had been created prior to Morrison’s article, as she acknowledged, and others have been published since, all making important contributions to our understanding of literary and print culture.2 While this large number of projects— over more than four decades—indicates the desirability of Morrison’s agenda, their history and current state foregrounds what have been major obstacles to achieving this aim. The most obvious of these—demonstrated by the two methods Morrison employed to sketch out the index’s parameters—is the formidable scale of the task. To understand its breadth, Morrison performed a “cross-sectional check” to explore which of Victoria’s one hundred or so newspapers, “issued on or about 31 August 1889, contained instalments of novels.” This method uncovered twenty-eight separate novels—some published multiple times—as well as a pattern of independent publication in metropolitan dailies and weeklies, and syndicated publication in suburban and country newspapers. The second method, to explore the index’s depth, involved “a diachronic study of serials in the Age from April 1872 (when it began to serialise fiction) until the end of the century,” and","PeriodicalId":39213,"journal":{"name":"Script and Print","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83444664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
