Recently West researched how Charles Dickens’ novel _Great Expectations_ was serialized in the American magazine _Harper’s Weekly_ from 1860-1861. Specifically interested in some of the trans-Atlantic issues involved, West considered how an American audience might have read the novel differently from a British audience and how an American illustrator drew decidedly American scenes for the British story. West argues that scholars need to pay more attention “to the places where novels were originally serialized…to look at how the stories were illustrated by different artists, and pay serious attention to those artists as collaborators on the work of the fiction.” 3 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:27:32 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/barker/ipod/barker01-Barker.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/barker/ipod/barker01-Barker.m4v Alex Barker wears several different hats.
