Re-Reading the Eighteenth-Century Novel adds to the dynamically
developing subfield of reception studies within eighteenth-century
studies. Lipski shows how secondary visual and literary texts live
their own lives in new contexts, while being also attentive to the
possible ways in which these new lives may tell us more about the
source texts. To this end the book offers five case studies of how
canonical novels of the eighteenth century by Daniel Defoe, Henry
Fielding and Laurence Sterne came to be interpreted by readers from
different historical moments. Lipski prioritises responses that may
seem non-standard or even disconnected from the original,
appreciating difference as a gateway to unobvious territories, as
well as expressing doubts regarding readings that verge on
misinterpretative appropriation. The material encompasses textual
and visual testimonies of reading, including book illustration,
prints and drawings, personal documents, reviews, literary texts
and literary criticism. The case studies are arranged into three
sections: visual transvaluations, reception in Poland and critical
afterlives, and are concluded by a discussion of the most recent
socio-political uses and revisions of eighteenth-century fiction in
the Age of Trump (2016-2020).
