British Historical Fiction before Scott (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the Cultures of Print)

by Anne H . Stevens (Author)

Synopsis

In the half century before Walter Scott's Waverley , dozens of popular novelists produced historical fictions for circulating libraries. This book examines eighty-five popular historical novels published between 1762 and 1813, looking at how the conventions of the genre developed through a process of imitation and experimentation.
