British culture underwent radical change in the eighteenth century
with the emergence of new literary genres and new discourses of
social analysis. As novelists developed new forms of fiction,
writers of economic tracts and treatises sought a new language and
a conceptual framework to describe the modern commercial state. In
Commerce, Morality and the Eighteenth-Century Novel, Liz Bellamy
argues that the evolution of the novel in eighteenth-century
Britain needs to be seen in the context of the discursive conflict
between economics and more traditional systems of social analysis.
In a series of fresh readings of a wide range of novels, Bellamy
shows how the novel contributed to the debate over public and
private virtues and had to negotiate between commercial and
anti-commercial ethics. The resulting choices were crucial in
determining the structure as well as the moral content of the
novel.
