Book Description
William George "Gilbert" Patten (1866-1945) wrote the Frank Merriwell novels under the pen name of Burt L. Standish. Amazingly, he produced one a week for over 20 years. A loyal audience bought over 100,000 copies of each title - of which there were ultimately 209 - and he wrote another 75 novels under other pen names. An estimated 500 million copies of his books were sold. The almost perfect hero, Frank never drank or smoked and was tops at all sports, including baseball, crew, track, and especially football. This early prep school story lays the foundation for many of Frank's subsequent adventures at Yale. In the New York Times Book Review, Peter Lyon remarked that not only was he accomplished in so many fields, but ..".he could accomplish all these heroics in the same spring season; nay, if necessary, on the same cloudless Saturday afternoon."

Book Description
Gilbert Patten, writing as Burt L. Standish, made a career of generating serialized twenty-thousand-word stories featuring his fictional creation Frank Merriwell, a student athlete at Yale University who inspired others to emulate his example of manly boyhood. Patten and his publisher, Street and Smith, initially had only a general idea about what would constitute Merriwell’s adventures and who would want to read about them when they introduced the hero in the dime novel Tip Top Weekly in 1896, but over the years what took shape was a story line that capitalized on middle-class fears about the insidious influence of modern life on the nation’s boys. Merriwell came to symbolize the Progressive Era debate about how sport and school made boys into men. The saga featured the attractive Merriwell distinguishing between “good” and “bad” girls and focused on his squeaky-clean adventures in physical development and mentorship. By the serial’s conclusion, Merriwell had opened a school for “weak and wayward boys” that made him into a figure who taught readers how to approximate his example. In Frank Merriwell and the Fiction of All-American Boyhood, Anderson treats Tip Top Weekly as a historical artifact, supplementing his reading of its text, illustrations, reader letters, and advertisements with his use of editorial correspondence, memoirs, trade journals, and legal documents. Anderson blends social and cultural history, with the history of business, gender, and sport, along with a general examination of childhood and youth in this fascinating study of how a fictional character was used to promote a homogeneous “normal” American boyhood rooted in an assumed pecking order of class, race, and gender.
