I'm interested to know some basics about the
DEADWOOD DICK series, like:
-author?- was it a multi-pen work?
-period of publication (I guess it started not very long
after the 1870s)?
-approx. how long was it published (seems to have been very
popular at the time)
-central character: was he a historical figure, or based on
one, or just a fictional one?
>From what you know of the TV serial, could this dime
novels series
have had some influence on the scripts of "Deadwood" the TV
series ?
(not sure this last question makes sense).
Thanks for your help.
Your book on Victoriana seems very interesting. Is it an
anthology of texts from that period, or a wider study on the
subject?
