Who is "Coningsby" Where is "The Moonstone"? When does one need "A Room of One's OWn"? Why is it that "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit"? And just how "good" is the British novel? These are just a few of the questions answered in "The Columbia History of the British Novel". John Richetti's comprehensive history takes us from the birth of th novel in the 18th century through its social & culture-conscious growing pains in the 19th century to its angts-ridden maturity in the 20th century. Concise, cohesive, & complementary to any collection of must-read classics, "The Columbia History of the British Novel" challenges & enlightens us by examining canonical writers as well as women & post-colonial novelists. Discover the origins of the novel in the "scandalous" books of Aphra Behn, Eliza Haywood, & Delarivier Manley ,& follow its development through Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, & Laurence Sterne against the backdrop of the novel's meteoric rise in the 1700s. Follow Frances Burney & the rise of the woman novelist, & the Gothic novel as invented by Horace Walpole & perfected by Mary Shelley & Matthew Lewis. Remember remarkable reunions in Jane Austen; the bond between chivalry, Waverly, & Sir Walter Scott; the Brontes, Amelia Opie, Maria Edgeworth, & the tradition of Romantic women's fiction; Charles Dickens & the professionalization of literature; George Eliot & the novel of ideas; and Wilkie Collins & the sensation-mania of the 1860s. Continue through the 19th-century w/ the "Condition of England" novels of Benjamin Disraeli & Elizabeth Gaskell, Hardy's tales of class & sexual difference, & Anglo-Indian perspectives on the empire from Rudyard Kipling & Philip Meadows Taylor. Enter the 20th-centry & examine the modern novel w/ Joseph Conrad, James Joyce, & Virgina Woolf. Then trace the anti-modernist movement w/ Kingsley Amis, C.P. Snow, & Angus Wilson &, finally, keep up w/ contemporaries--Doris Lessing, A. S. Byatt, Anita Brookner, Julian Barnes, Kazuo Ishiguro, & Jeanette Winterson. "The Columbia History of the British Novel" lets us do all these tings as it presents literary critics: (a) Toni Bowers on ealy amatory fiction, (b) James Thompson on Jane Austen, (c) Ian Ferris on William Thackery, (d) David Trotter on Arnold Bennett, George Moore, & George Gissing, (e) Michael Gorra on colonial & postcolonial novels from Rudyard Kipling to Salmon Rushdie, (f) Michael Seidel on James Joyce, (g) Carol McGuirk on postwar feminisms from Margaret Drabble to Angela Carter. "The Columbia History of the British Novel" examines classics in light of the critical theories of Bakhtin, Lukacs, & Foucault, among others, as well as a panoply of such sub-genres as picaresque fiction, adventures, travelogues, utopian & dystopian prose, historical romances, detective novels, and "Bildungsroman". This superb history also includes brief biographies of novelists discussed & lists of further reading. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & due to its weight to all international destinations via efficient USPS PRIORTY MAIL at our posted rates.…

hardcover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. The Cambridge History of English Literature, 1660-1780, John Richetti â" 1st Edition Publication: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2015 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 964. Condition Report: Very Good. The volume remains tightly bound and squarely set, retaining a robust structural integrity without any sagging to the text block. The original red cloth boards are entirely clean, and the gilt tooling to the spine remains notably bright and unoxidised, indicating it has been kept away from excessive damp or sunlight. The text block edges display some mild dusting and faint, superficial blemishes commensurate with standard shelf-wear, but internally, the pages are uniformly bright, crisp, and free from any foxing or marking. The accompanying glossy dust jacket presents very well, exhibiting only light surface scuffing and minor rubbing to the extremities, with no significant tears, loss, or fading. Catalogue Note: This volume is a 2015 hardcover reprint of the first edition, originally published in 2005 as a cornerstone addition to the esteemed 'New Cambridge History of English Literature' series. It retains its original publisher's binding and the protective dust jacket, which notably features the comprehensive contents list across the rear panel rather than a standard blurb. As a heavy, highly referenced academic text, hardcover iterations of this specific volume are increasingly uncommon on the open market; many institutional copies suffer from heavy reading wear, and subsequent commercial print runs often defaulted to the paperback format. An authoritative and expansive collaborative history, this volume offers a profound synthesis of English literature from the Restoration through to the late eighteenth century. Under the editorial guidance of John Richetti, a host of renowned scholars explore the dynamic shifts in literary production, charting the emergence of the novel, the vital contributions of women writers, and the profound intersections between print media, philosophy, and societal change. It stands as an indispensable resource for understanding the cultural and intellectual vibrancy of a transformative era in English letters. N/A (illustrateur). …
