Painting the Novel: Pictorial Discourse in Eighteenth-Century
English Fiction focuses on the interrelationship between
eighteenth-century theories of the novel and the art of painting -
a subject which has not yet been undertaken in a book-length study.
This volume argues that throughout the century novelists from
Daniel Defoe to Ann Radcliffe referred to the visual arts,
recalling specific names or artworks, but also artistic styles and
conventions, in an attempt to define the generic constitution of
their fictions. In this, the novelists took part in the discussion
of the sister arts, not only by pointing to the affinities between
them but also, more importantly, by recognising their potential to
inform one another; in other words, they expressed a conviction
that the theory of a new genre can be successfully rendered through
meta-pictorial analogies. By tracing the uses of painting in
eighteenth-century novelistic discourse, this book sheds new light
on the history of the so-called "rise of the novel".
