Eighteenth-Century Fiction and the Law of Property

In Eighteenth-Century Fiction and the Law of Property,Wolfram Schmidgen draws on legal and economic writings to analyze the description of houses,landscapes,and commodities in eighteenth-century fiction. His study argues that such descriptions are important to the British imagination of community. By making visible what it means to own something,they illuminate how competing concepts of property define the boundaries of the individual,of social community,and of political systems. In this way,Schmidge

Gender and the Formation of Taste in Eighteenth-Century

Beauty is one of the most important and intriguing ideas in eighteenth-century culture. The concept of beauty was central to debates about art,culture and taste,and was invoked,in various and contradictory ways,to determine acceptable behavior for women. Robert W. Jones traces changing concepts of beauty in the eighteenth century through a wide range of material,including philosophical texts by William Hogarth and Edmund Burke,novels by Charlotte Lennox and Sarah Scott,and representations of the cele

Chance and the Eighteenth-Century Novel: Realism,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Molesworth, Jesse, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The rise and popular awareness of the science of probability in the eighteenth century was accompanied by an equally great interest in the anti-probable: lotteries, tarot readings, and gambling. In this original study, Jesse Molesworth analyses the relationship between realism, probability and chance in eighteenth-century fiction. In a variety of readings, both literary and cultural, he investigates works by Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding and Laurence Sterne, in the context of the rise of lottery addiction, Hoyle's whist, and tarot cartomancy. Both a reassessment of the early development of the novel and a contribution to recent work on realism and fiction, this book suggests connections between narrative and mathematics that reveal a darker, more transgressive, side to the novel. Rather than a rational expression of Enlightenment truths, the novel reaches out to older, more superstitious views as it tries to combine the attractions of chance with the consolations of reason.
