Lucy Powell recovers lost layers of meaning within the prison scenes which abound in the eighteenth-century novel. Powell reveals prisons' fourfold particularity as cultural and narrative spaces, stressing, with bold originality, the political and social, as opposed to the domestic and interior, aspects of the novel as a form.
