slow reading 

(An archived project) 
Experience reading 1890s style. 

In the late 19th century much popular fiction was read via serialisations in magazines.  This style of reading has an enormous impact on the way you engage and understand text,  and we offer you the  chance to experience this style of 'slow reading' for yourself by serialising 'anniversary' texts.  You can read these, an episode at a time (use the sidebar to get to the correct chapter or you'll find yourself reading backwards!) 

Men of the Moss Hags by S.R.Crockett, first serialised in Good Words  in 1895.
