Description

This scholarly work by Carol Stewart traces the pivotal transformation of ethics in English literature during the eighteenth century, exploring how the decline of Church authority reshaped moral discourse in fiction. Stewart examines novels by Richardson, Sarah Fielding, Frances Sheridan, Charlotte Lennox, Tobias Smollett, Sterne, William Godwin, and Jane Austen to reveal how religious ethical debates between Latitudinarians and Calvinists evolved into secular and gendered arguments within prose narratives. The study provides fresh insight into the historical rise of the novel as a literary form, demonstrating how fiction became a vehicle for exploring morality outside ecclesiastical frameworks. Essential reading for scholars of literary history, eighteenth-century studies, and the cultural conditions that shaped the development of the modern novel.
