Melodrama and sensation were essential ingredients. The hurriedly written, rambling plots sought to electrify fantasies of women with new turn-of-the-century aspirations. They also fused raw political ideas offering populist and paternalist solutions to society's challenges and tensions. Through the study of one rare, surviving colportage novel, Peter S. Fisher offers an unusual mental and visual panorama of a nearly vanished Wilhelmine world.Lettre clandestine.Fisher, Siegfried the WrestlerThe Wilhelmine World of a Colportage NovelPopular LiteraturePopular CultureColportage NovelGermanyCultural HistoryGerman EmpireNineteenth CenturyTwentieth CenturyLiteratureMediaGerman LiteratureGender StudiesGerman HistoryLiterary StudiesPopular LiteraturePopular CultureColportage NovelGermanyCultural HistoryGerman EmpireNineteenth CenturyTwentieth CenturyLiteratureMediaGerman LiteratureGender StudiesGerman HistoryLiterary Studies266.0092Fisher Peter S<p>Peter S.
