A Companion to the eighteenth-century English novel and culture
"A team of two dozen prominent scholars . . . here report on the state of the art in 18th century novel studies. Nearly all the work is cutting edge, and almost every page challenges conventional wisdom . . . Specialists in the early novel will find this wide-ranging and theoretically sophisticated work provocative. Highly recommended."
