Novel horizons analyses how narrative prose fiction developed
during the English Restoration. It argues that after 1660, generic
changes within dramatic texts occasioned an intense debate within
prologues and introductions. This discussion about the poetics of a
genre was echoed in the paratextual material of prose fictions. In
the absence of an official poetics that defined prose fiction,
paratexts ful filled this function and informed readers about the
budding genre. This study traces the piecemeal development of these
boundaries and describes the generic competence of readers through
the analysis of paratexts and prose fictions. Novel horizons covers
the surviving textual material widely, focusing on narrative prose
fictions published between 1660 and 1710. In addition to tracing
the paratextual poetics of Restoration fiction, this book also
covers the state of the art of fiction-writing during the period,
discussing character development, narrative point of view and
questions of fictionality and realism. -- .
