Modern Romance examines the relationship between the revival of
romance form and the ascendancy of the novel in British literary
culture, from 1760 to 1850. The revival of romance as the literary
embodiment of a national cultural identity provided a metaphor for
the 'authenticity' of the novel itself, set against the changing
formations of modern life. The material conditions, cultural status
and formal repertoire of prose fiction were given a canonical
transformation, leading to the form's nineteenth-century heyday, in
Scott's Waverley novels. Ian Duncan's illuminating and innovative
study begins with the first identification of modern prose fiction
with romance form in the late eighteenth-century Gothic novel, and
moves through Scott's highly influential dialectical blend of
romance and history, to his relations with his successor in the
role of national author, Charles Dickens.
