Rejecting a teleological narrative of the genre's rise, the study presents a dynamic picture of the emergence of the novel, that focuses upon formal innovation, social engagement, and artistic and commercial competition."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0809/2005056140-d.html UR - http://www.worldcat.org/title/making-the-novel-fiction-and-society-in-britain-1660-1789/oclc/62128061&referer=brief_results#relatedsubjects UR - http://lib.ewubd.edu/ebook/5142 ER -
