Title Page of Chapter's XIII and IX of "The Moonstone" [Text]

Description

This image is the title page of chapters Eight and Nine of the Moonstone in All the Year Round. All the Year Round formats the title page in a way that reinforces the idea of proper Englishness. Clear, clean text formatted symmetrically on the page emulates what All the Year Round perceives as the correct and proper way to publish work. What makes All the Year Round’s presentation different from Harper’s is the absence of images. They allow the reader to formulate their own assumptions of the people being represented in the text by not forcing an image of what they believe certain characters should look like. However, the reader’s opinion is held in a framework represented by the text because it is conducted by Charles Dickens. All the Year Round allows the reader to formulate their own opinion by not forcing cultural assumption’s on them, but those assumptions fall within the framework of what Charles Dickens allowed to be presented. All the Year Round still re-enforced their beliefs in showing how work should be presented, but they do not do it by negatively representing another culture.
