Why did people from all over the world that came to California in hopes of striking it rich, if not get along nicely, at least tolerate each other’s presence in the goldfields? Why was racism not as prevalent in 1848-1849 than it was in 1851-1852?

As a phenomenon of the mass media, the feuilleton novel obeys the same rules of selection as news. In France, the symbiosis of novels and newspapers started in the 1830s: with the description of social problems and suggestions for remedy, Eugène Sue’s Mystères de Paris (1842/43) and Le Juif errant (1844/45) set the tone for the spread of the mystery novel across Europe. In spite of interest in French and English predecessors, the German feuilleton novel started only after the revolution of 1848. Early examples are Georg Weerth’s Leben und Thaten des berühmten Ritters Schnapphahnski (1848/49) and Karl Gutzkow’s Die Ritter vom Geiste (1850/51). In Austria, the feuilleton novel also boomed after 1848. The attractiveness of the popular press for the reading public was largely due to a regular novelistic feuilleton that included novels such as Eduard Breier’s Die beiden Grasel (1854). The chapter suggests that these novels do not support modernity and progress but provide consolation for those who feel insecure by confirming that old beliefs and values are still valid.

Given the status of the Kölnische Zeitung as one of the first German newspapers to include serial fiction in the feuilleton section on a regular basis, this chapter focuses on concrete serial strategies allowing for the thematic interaction between specific fictional texts and nonfictional articles within the medial framework of this particular liberal nineteenth-century newspaper. Based on the paratext-related approaches of Christopher Looby as well as Nicola Kaminski, Nora Ramtke, and Carsten Zell, four exemplary analyzes shed light on the interaction across the Feuilletonstrich of the Kölnische Zeitung as an issue- and installment-specific phenomenon with varying types and degrees of intensity and mutual enrichment.

it's a secular holiday. it is and was a custom developed to recognize the ending of a time and a wish for a good future. the kind of kiss you exchange, if you are single, is intended to predict what kind of year you will have in the coming year.

it is saying good bye to the last year with all its ups and downs, and hello to the new year, with all its hopes and dreams.
