Synopsis
The Argosy is a late-Victorian issue-style collection of multi-genre fiction, essays, and short pieces published as part of an October 1875 edition. This excerpt compiles serialized narratives and stand-alone vignettes across settings from English countryside and London to the American West, the Alpine Highlands, Normandy, and Italian estates. The featured pieces include ongoing serials such as A Secret of the Sea, with plots of love, marriage, deception, and inheritance; On Courtesy, a moral meditation on genuine civility; Across the Plains, a frontier journey weaving romance and loyalty; Roserl, an Alpine romance; and The Teacup Times, a cultural sketch on tea’s social impact. Other chapters present domestic melodrama (Zillah), dramatic revelations (A Secret of the Sea, Told at Last), and a suspenseful coda (The Strong Room). The issue also blends travel, satire, Gothic intrigue, and literary criticism, reflecting the era’s tastes for romance, social critique, and serialized storytelling.
