Cloth, 8vo, 349 pp. From the blurb: "This catalogue provides the first comprehensive listing of novels and associated prose fiction published in Britain and Ireland in the twenty years after 1750, thereby continuing the listings already published for the period of 1700 to 1749. The author has personally examined relevant holdings of major research and university libraries of Britain and North America, including a large amount of previously uncatalogued material. Eighteenth-century sources have also been used extensively to identify works apparently no longer surviving and to verify edition numbering. Entries are arranged chronologically, and the work is fully indexed. Research has provided much redating of works included in the listings, as well as new suggestions for authorship attributions…This checklist is designed as a guide for further study of the history of the novel and the booktrades. Entries include references to eighteenth-century crìtical reviews, pricing, reprinting, subsequent checklisting and present locations where the works may be consulted. The Introduction to the catalogue traces changes in publication, bookselling, and authorship over the period. The new listings assist particularly in understanding the history of second-ranking but influential authors, the course of the Irish reprint industry, and the development of various fìctional motifs from the sentimental to the gothic.
