Description

Explore the historical connection between the decline of Church authority and the rise of the novel in this scholarly work from Routledge. Carol Stewart provides a fresh perspective on how fiction gained respectability during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. This book examines how ethical debates transitioned from religious frameworks into secular and gendered terms. By analyzing key literary figures, Stewart traces how the tensions between Latitudinarians and Calvinists shaped the development of the novel as a medium for moral discussion. Readers will find deep insights into the works of influential authors including Samuel Richardson, Sarah Fielding, Frances Sheridan, Charlotte Lennox, Tobias Smollett, Laurence Sterne, William Godwin, and Jane Austen. This text is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of literary theory, history, and the cultural shifts that defined the eighteenth century.
