Abstract
The accessibility of digitized newspapers creates an opportunity to trace middlebrow taste. The style and substance of newspaper reviews began to diverge from magazine reviews late in the nineteenth century. Newspaper reviews became short, chatty, personal, and targeted toward the leisured reader. Self-consciously, reviewers mourned unhappy endings, complained about long factual expositions, or criticized plots on the grounds of implausibility. We can see this shift in critical discourse if we compare the British newspaper and magazine reviews from the mid nineteenth century to reviews of Edith Wharton's early short story collections, The House of Mirth, and Ethan Frome.
