Making the Novel

Fiction and Society in Britain, 1660-1789

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book advances a new cultural reading of the formation of the British novel. Rejecting a teleological narrative of the genre's 'rise' and through close analysis of key texts, the authors present a dynamic picture of the emergence of the novel, which focuses upon formal innovation, social engagement, and artistic and commercial competition.
