The Oxford History of the Novel in English is a 12-volume series
presenting a comprehensive, global, and up-to-date history of
English-language prose fiction and written by a large,
international team of scholars. The series is concerned with novels
as a whole, not just the 'literary' novel, and each volume includes
chapters on the processes of production, distribution, and
reception, and on popular fiction and the fictional sub-genres, as
well as outlining the work of major novelists, movements,
traditions, and tendencies.
Volume 3, The Nineteenth-Century Novel 1820-1800 charts one of the
most significant and exciting periods in the history of the genre.
Beginning with the decade in which Scott's work helped inaugurate
the three-volume novel, and in which many narrative genres,
conventions, and preoccupations associated with Victorian fiction
first emerged, it traces how these forms developed and changed in
the mid nineteenth century, as the novel became established at the
centre of British national culture. The volume includes sections on
book history, on major authors, and on the varieties of fiction and
range of narrative modes during the period. It also features essays
on theories of the novel, and on the novel's relationship to other
aesthetic forms. Volume 3 also emphasizes the wider cultural role
and significance of the novel during the period, including its
impact on ideas of place and nation, as well as its intervention in
political, scientific, and intellectual contexts.
