- Class Description:
- Some scholars argue that you can find novels in the literature of classical Greece, and some across Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But no one disputes that the realist fiction became a key cultural phenomena during the eighteenth century, when both novels and novel criticism came to be mass produced and consumed. We will examine the early conditions of the emergence of the genre, the formal developments it undergoes from the late seventeenth through early nineteenth centuries, and the way practitioners and critics evaluate its social purposes. Readings will include works by Behn, Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Sterne, Burney, Radcliffe, Austen, Scott as well as major twentieth-century theorizations of the genre.
