Abstract
The dime novel is a literary form that originated in the United States of America and became very popular since its inception in 1860 onwards. Its inexpensive price meant that the dime novel was one of the favorite pastimes for people all around America. The main characters of dime novels are people who preform daring feats no matter the danger or the consequences. Two such characters are the outlaw Jesse James and the famous hunter and adventurer Buffalo Bill. The dime novel takes those real life characters and builds upon them, taking away their character flaws and giving them romantic virtues such as the thirst for adventure or vengeance. It follows a certain number of events in their life that are deemed interesting or inspirational or even their entire lifespan. The dime novel does not intend to rewrite history by presenting the characters as flawless but merely put an emphasis on their deeds of valor and courage as to influence and inspire future generations.
