This is the story of a most ingenious invention: the novel.
Desribed for the first time in The Rise of The Novel, Ian Watt's
landmark classic reveals the origins and explains the success of
the most popular literary form of all time. In the space of a
single generation, three eighteenth-century writers -- Daniel
Defoe, Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding -- invented an entirely
new genre of writing: the novel. With penetrating and original
readings of their works, as well as those of Jane Austen, who
further developed and popularised it, he explains why these authors
wrote in the way that they did, and how the complex changes in
society - the emergence of the middle-class and the new social
position of women - gave rise to its success. Heralded as a
revelation when it first appeared, The Rise of The Novel remains
one of the most widely read and enjoyable books of literary
criticism ever written, capturing precisely and satisfyingly what
it is about the form that so enthrals us.
