Review

"A major contribution to the subject, in some respects the most brilliant that has appeared...Every page of Dr Watt's admirably written book repays study, as enlivening and enriching as the works themselves" (Times Educational Supplement)

"An important, compendious work of inquiring scholarship...alive with ideas...An academic critic who in lively and suggestive detail is able to assemble round his novelists the ideas and facts among which they worked" (V.S. Pritchett New Statesman)

Book Description

A classic and the standard text on the origins of the modern novel.
