The serialized English novel The Book of Snobs (1846) by W. M. Thackeray was published in 1891 in the newspaper O Estado da Paraíba. It was first published in the British magazine Punch (1846) and translated later. The author's main purpose was to show–through satire– a different perspective of the aristocratic society in Victorian England. This paper aims to investigate the English works of fiction and non-fiction in the newspapers in the province of Paraiba, map out the serialized English novels and analyze more thoroughly the novel The Book of Snobs, which is the corpus of this research. Our aim is to understand the circulation and publication practices of the serialized English novel in Paraiba newspapers in the 19th century. We analyzed source materials such as articles, ads, announcements, as well as the English novel itself, which served as a basis to map the presence of English fiction in Paraíba's newspapers. We reflect with authors such as Chartier (1990; 2002; 2011), Barbosa (2007; 2011), Freyre (2000), Ramicelli (2009), Hansen (2004), among others, who helped us to understand the English cultural importance in the development of Paraíba, as well as to understand the space of English novels in serialized in Paraíba‘s newspaper.
