Publisher's Synopsis

In this analysis, Laurie Fitzgerald argues that the late eighteenth-century novels should be read as composites of many literary genres. This approach would allow contemporary readers to orient these novels in literary history and also get a sense of the strategies eighteenth-century audiences used in reading the novels of their time. Shifts in genre that occur within one work often indicate the novel's experimental exploration of social issues.
