Moonstone Chapter XXI header- All the Year Round

Moonstone Chapter XXI header- All the Year Round

In the Header for The Moonstone, Wilkie Collins' name is notably absent while the other works that he did are represented, in particular the works that had been previously published in one or the other of Dickens' two journals. In contrast, the header for All the Year Round has much larger font and takes up more of the page. This focus on the publisher's header over that of the author implies that the quality of the text, and thus it's marketability, comes from the publication itself rather than the author. The singular text is marketable as literary "quality" by association with the publisher. In this case the text would be under the publisher's brand.
