In France between 1641 and 1782 the romance developed into the
novel. Mr. Showalter's intensive study of the novel, particularly
during the critical period 1700-1720, shows that an important
movement toward nineteenth century realism was taking place. To
trace this development the author has selected five
phenomena--time, space, names, money, and the narrator--and follows
their treatment throughout the period to show why romance tended
toward the novel. To show the working-out of these ideas there is a
detailed analysis of one novel, Robert Challe's Les Illustres
Francoises, which can be precisely located in the chain of literary
influence. Its central theme of the individual in conflict with
society was well suited to the forms available to the eighteenth
century novelist. Consequently it appears repeatedly in important
novels of the period, showing that the evolutionary process worked
to some degree even on subject matter. Originally published in
1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
