A literary work, usually a story that is not true, creeping through several issues of a newspaper or magazine. Frequently appended to each installment is a "synposis of preceding chapters" for those who have not read them, but a direr need is a synposis of succeeding chapters for those who do not intend to read _them_. A synposis of the entire work would be still better. The late James F. Bowman was writing a serial tale for a weekly paper in collaboration with a genius whose name has not come down to us. They wrote, not jointly but alternately, Bowman supplying the installment for one week, his friend for the next, and so on, world without end, they hoped. Unfortunately they quarreled, and one Monday morning when Bowman read the paper to prepare himself for his task, he found his work cut out for him in a way to surprise and pain him. His collaborator had embarked every character of the narrative on a ship and sunk them all in the deepest part of the Atlantic.  serial [siəriəl] Fortsetzungen; hintereinander  serial [siəriəl] feuilleton; vervolgverhaal serieel  serial [siəriəl] serial  serial serial  Serial Fortlaufendes Sammelwerk serial in Fortsetzungen; Serien... serial Fortsetzungsroman m serial Serie f (TV) serial Zeitschrift f serial hintereinander; seriell adj serial seriell adj  231 Moby Thesaurus words for "serial": Grand Guignol, Passion play, Tom show, alternate, annual, antimasque, article, audience success, ballet, beating, best seller, bimonthly, biweekly, bomb, book, bound book, broadcast, broadcast drama, burlesque show, canned show, catenary, chapter, charade, circling, classic, clause, cliff hanger, closet drama, coloring book, column, comedy drama, commercial, commercial program, connected, consecutive, consistent, continuous, critical success, cyclic, daily, daybook, daytime serial, definitive work, dialogue, diary, documentary drama, drama, dramalogue, dramatic play, dramatic series, duodrama, duologue, editorial, electrical transcription, ephemeris, epic theater, epochal, even, every other, experimental theater, extravaganza, failure, fascicle, flop, folio, fortnightly, gasser, gazette, giveaway, great work, happening, hardback, hit, hit show, improvisational drama, installment, intermittent, isochronal, joined, journal, journalese, journalistic, juvenile, juvenile book, legitimate drama, limp-cover book, lineal, linear, livraison, magazine, magazinish, magaziny, magnum opus, masque, measured, melodrama, metronomic, minstrel show, miracle, miracle play, monodrama, monologue, monthly, morality, morality play, music drama, musical revue, mystery, mystery play, network show, newscast, newsmagazine, newspaperish, newspapery, nonbook, notebook, novel, opera, opus, opuscule, opusculum, orderly, ordinal, organ, oscillatory, pageant, panel show, pantomime, paperback, paragraph, part, passage, pastoral, pastoral drama, periodical, phrase, pictorial, picture book, piece, play, playbook, playlet, pocket book, prayer book, problem play, production, progressive, psalmbook, psalter, psychodrama, publication, pulsing, quarterly, quiz show, radio drama, radio fare, radiobroadcast, rebroadcast, reciprocal, recurrent, recurring, reportorial, rerun, review, revue, rhythmic, rotary, seasonal, section, sensational play, sequent, sequential, seriate, show, sitcom, situation comedy, sketch, sketchbook, skit, slick magazine, soap, soap opera, sociodrama, soft-cover, songbook, sound effects, spectacle, sportscast, stage play, stage show, standard work, steady, storybook, straight drama, subsequent, succeeding, success, successional, successive, suspense drama, sustainer, tableau, tableau vivant, talk show, taped program, teleplay, television drama, television play, theater of cruelty, tight, title, tome, total theater, trade book, trade magazine, undulant, undulatory, uninterrupted, variety show, vaudeville, vaudeville show, vehicle, verse, volume, wavelike, weekly, wheeling, word-of-mouth success, work, writing, yearbook Serial related |
