This diamond advertisement is shown in Harper’s Weekly’s  May 30, 1868 issue. The advertisement is seen as “sensational advertising” due to the fact that it is eye catching. The letters are different fonts and sizes. Once the advertisement catches…

Unmistakably, the advertisement section of All the Year Round is much different than that of Harper’s. All the Year Round’s exclusion of illustrations in the advertisement section continues to place an emphasis on text alone. Furthermore, the…

                The last page of All the Year Round’s publication of Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone does not surprise the reader with any interesting images or foreshadowing illustrations. This is especially interesting when considering the fact that…

                Almost indistinguishable from the pages before, the sixth and seventh pages of All the Year Round’s The Moonstone do little to stimulate the imagination or attention of its readers. It is important to note that page 172 and 173 were…

While the text itself of the second and third page of All the Year Round’s publication of The Moonstone does not differ much from the second page of the same publication in Harper’s Weekly, the display of the journal on these pages do contrast with…

                The All the Year Round title page for Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone serves as the main point of comparison and contrast to Harper’s Weekly. This journal is concerned entirely with its own reputation, harnessing not only the fame of…

The ascetic differences between the two journals can be easily spotted. While the inclusion of illustrations in Harper’s appears to further accommodate a middle-lower class readership and a taste for the sensational, All the Year Round’s exclusion of…

All the Year Round, a weekly journal published in England by Charles Dickens, featured an unillustrated version of The Moonstone. Each installment of the story was released in plain text in standard magazine or book format with double panelled pages.…

The table of contents lists the texts by title rather than by author but it is in the table of contents where The Moonstone is given a bit of distinction from everything else. While the entry for The Moonstone still lacks the name of the author,…

Whereas the title of The Moonstone was a highlight of the page in All the Year Round, the titles of following works in the publication are not nearly as notable. The plain text of The Moonstone transitions unceremoniously into a new story with an…

The layout of the text in All the Year Round is uniform throughout the journal and quite formal. Each text is presented without images, in two separate columns, and with the large All the Year Round header. The formality of the layout and the unified…

The text in All the Year Round is double paneled on its pages, with no illustration, breaking only to transition paragraphs. All font is the same throughout the text, reading like a book or magazine which would have been read individually or in more…

This is as close as we get to a mention of correspondence in All The Year Round. It’s a note from the editors of the journal to it’s expectant readers signifying what will be contained in the following weeks serial. Essentially it is a note from one…

Typescript from the third draft of Robert Kroetsch's 1969 novel The Studhorse Man.

This is the last paragraph of The Moonstone, as it appears in Harper's Weekly. Harper’s Weekly advertises the story as “printed from the author’s manuscript”, but that is not strictly true. There is one notable variant in the American version, as…

This is the last paragraph of The Moonstone, as it appears in All the Year Round. I will mention again that the British version uses an exclamation point instead of a question mark in the last line of the novel, the effect of which is that the tone…

In the ninth serial part of The Moonstone, Mr. Betteredge and Sergeant Cuff travel to the nearby town of Cobb’s Hole to pay a visit to friends of Rosanna Spearman. While the journey is not far in distance, it is worlds away from the genteel setting…
