Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"Assembling a range of original scholarly essays on the literature of the long eighteenth
century, this collection is concerned primarily with the exploration of the complex
field, and authors' uses, of genre and form. The contributors address issues of the
development and progress of epic conventions, architectural design in fiction, formal
and generic hybridity in the works of Sarah Fielding, and the revision process and
overall plan of Thomson's The Seasons. Other contributions aim to historicize genres,
especially graveyard poetry and the laboring-class "work" poem, and investigate modes
of travel writing or the intergeneric collaboration of pictorial language and sentimentalism
in the tableau tradition. The multifarious landscape of literary production and the
processes of generic experimentation and innovation are charted, and the essays in
this collection provide important interventions on the significance of formal criticism
for modern historicising literary scholarship"--Back cover
