Descriere magazin:
Winner of the 2014 Christian Gauss Award for excellence in literary scholarship from the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Having excavated the world\'s earliest novels in his previous book, literary historian Steven Moore explores in this sequel the remarkable flowering of the novel between the years 1600 and 1800-from Don Quixote to America\'s first big novel, an homage to Cervantes entitled Modern Chivalry . This is the period of such classic novels as Tom Jones, Candide , and Dangerous Liaisons , but beyond the dozen or so recognized classics there are hundreds of other interesting novels that appeared then, known only to Spanish picaresques, French heroic romances, massive Chinese novels, Japanese graphic novels, eccentric English novels, and the earliest American novels. These minor novels are not only worthy of attention in their own right, but also provide the context needed to appreciate why the major novels were major breakthroughs. The novel experienced an explosive growth spurt during these centuries as novelists experimented with different forms and epistolary novels, romances, Gothic thrillers, novels in verse, parodies, science fiction, episodic road trips, and family sagas, along with quirky, unclassifiable experiments in fiction that resemble contemporary, avant-garde works. As in his previous volume, Moore privileges the innovators and outriders, those who kept the novel novel.
