Eighteenth-Century Characters offers a concise introduction to the
eighteenth century, using characters as its starting point. Elaine
M. McGirr presents contextualized readings of stock characters from
canonical and popular literature, such as: - the rake and the fop -
the country gentleman - the good woman - the coquette and the prude
- the country maid and the town lady - the Catholic, the Protestant
and the British Other. Each chapter explores how a character's
significance and role changes over the century, illustrating and
explaining radical shifts in taste, ideology and style. Also
featuring illustrations, a Chronology and a helpful Bibliography
and Further Reading section, this essential guide will provide
students with the necessary background to understand the period's
literature and to embark on further study.
