Download or read book Dime Novel Mormons written by Michael Austin and published by Greg Kofford Books, Incorporated. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dime novels probably did more than any other kind of book to turn lower- and middle-class Americans into both book owners and book readers. It's hard to tell just how many of these dime novels featured Mormons, but the dime-novel sterotypes of Mormons worked their way into much of the more-respectable literature of the day and influenced the way American culture has interacted with Mormonism ever since. For this volume, four full-length dime novels have been chosen to represent different aspects of the Mormon image in dime novels... The often lurid and scandalous portrayals of Mormons in these dime novels haed consequences for the relationship between Mormons and the rest of the United States. They would represent reality for millions of people, and the basic portrayals found their way into more serious literature. Understanding how these stereotypes were created and first employed can help us understand many things about the way Mormonism has always functioned in American culture."--Back cover.
