This volume offers a new approach to the early novel and its status as a medium for intellectually ambitious historical thought from 1700 to 1830. It shows that the novel--an emerging literary genre that styled itself as experimental and popular--was shaped by new modes of historical research, notably those associated with antiquarianism.
