Notes on Reade Visit

Note: huge difference between how he himself writes on the cards and what they look like when the secretary copies them afterwards. Secretary’s is neater, with sections spaced out by straight double-lines in purple ink. Why purple? Did he use

Alison’s Preparation for the Charles Reade Archive Visit

The Dismembered Novel: The Generic Violence of Reade’s Hard Cash Notecards. Or, following in the sensational vein, I imagine the novel as a body and the notecards as its organs. Hard Cash represents in its characters the bodily and psychological

When reading “Hard Cash,” one of the things that struck me most was the dialogue of the characters and their use of jargon and slang. How odd, I thought, that a book that begins with a description of how much
