About The Book
The English Novel in History 1700-1780 by John Richetti explores the early development of the English novel in the context of the shifting social, moral, and political landscape of eighteenth-century Britain. Richetti traces the evolution of the novel from scandalous and amatory fictions to the more disciplined and didactic works of the 1740s and 1750s.
The book examines:
-
Scandalous and amatory fictions
-
Criminal narratives of the early part of the century
-
The rise of realistic and didactic novels in the mid-1700s
-
Novels promoting new ideas about domestic life
-
The role of women writers and their contributions to the genre
This insightful book offers a fresh perspective on the history of the English novel, revising traditional literary history by situating the novels of the period within the broader transformation of British society.
