This course examines the eighteenth-century emergence of the novel as the dominant literary form in Britain. We will consider the novel’s unique ability to represent the changing social conditions and attitudes of the period, particularly in relation to class identity and gender roles. What were the new techniques of psychological realism associated with the novel? In what sense does the eighteenth-century novel—from Defoe’s genre-founding work, Robinson Crusoe—retell the same tale: that of the resourceful middle-class individualist faced with the challenges of surviving in a world of recognizably modern economic forces? Did the novel represent the increasing rationalism or the increasing sentimentality of the age? How can we account for the central role of women—as authors, readers and characters—in the genre’s development? Ian Watt’s classic study, The Rise of the Novel, will provide insight into the many epistemological and social crises of the era. Our novelists include Defoe, Swift, Richardson, Goldsmith, Godwin and Austen.At the end of the course the students should be able to understand the major developments of British literary history during the 18th century.
