The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and Fielding – hinnat ja saatavuus

The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and Fielding by Ian Watt is a comprehensive study of the emergence and development of the novel as a literary genre in 18th century England. The book examines the works of three major novelists of the time - Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson, and Henry Fielding - and their contributions to the evolution of the novel form. Ian Watt explores how these writers used the novel to reflect the social, political, and cultural changes of their time, and how they created new narrative techniques and conventions that would shape the novel for centuries to come. The book also analyzes the themes and motifs that are common to these writers, such as the representation of the individual in society, the role of women, and the tension between reason and passion. The Rise of the Novel is a seminal work in the field of literary criticism and has become a classic of English literary studies. It offers a deep and insightful analysis of the historical, cultural, and literary context of the emergence of the novel as a genre, and sheds light on the enduring significance of the works of Defoe, Richardson, and Fielding.
