Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a substantial and powerful critique of the dangers of what we now call 'popular fiction', particularly that aimed at and consumed by young people. It takes its examples from novels and romances which were widely read in the 18th and 19th centuries, but the author's arguments apply equally forcefully to the mass-produced, formulaic novels churned out in our own time. The author believed such books to be not merely a trivial waste of time, but actively harmful in the way that they corrupted and misled the taste and judgement of their readers, and encouraged them in ways of thinking and behaving which were contrary to true morality and common sense. He believed they had a particularly pernicious influence on young women, but that they degraded the values of everyone who read them. The author's arguments are forcefully expressed and well supported, and his extensive survey of the literary landscape of the day provides a rich resource for anyone with an interest in the wider literary context and currents of the period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331377108_0
