Eighteenth-century fiction holds an unusual place in the history of
modern print culture. The novel gained prominence largely because
of advances in publishing, but, as a popular genre, it also helped
shape those very developments. Authors in the period manipulated
the appearance of the page and print technology more deliberately
than has been supposed, prompting new forms of reception among
readers. Christopher Flint's book explores works by both obscure
'scribblers' and canonical figures, such as Swift, Haywood, Defoe,
Richardson, Sterne and Austen, that interrogated the complex
interactions between the book's material aspects and its producers
and consumers. Flint links historical shifts in how authors
addressed their profession to how books were manufactured and how
readers consumed texts. He argues that writers exploited
typographic media to augment other crucial developments in prose
fiction, from formal realism and free indirect discourse to
accounts of how 'the novel' defined itself as a genre.
