Synopsis
The genesis of the novel, argues Michael McKeon, lies in the great upheavals of secularization and reform that transformed early modern Europe. Now in paperback, ''The Origins of the English Novel'' combines historical analysis and readings of extraordinarily diverse texts to reconceive the foundations of the dominant genre of the modern era.
