Download or read book The Spread of Novels written by Mary Helen McMurran and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-24 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction has always been in a state of transformation and circulation: how does this history of mobility inform the emergence of the novel? The Spread of Novels explores the active movements of English and French fiction in the eighteenth century and argues that the new literary form of the novel was the result of a shift in translation. Demonstrating that translation was both the cause and means by which the novel attained success, Mary Helen McMurran shows how this period was a watershed in translation history, signaling the end of a premodern system of translation and the advent of modern literary exchange. McMurran illuminates aspects of prose fiction translation history, including the radical revision of fiction's origins from that of cross-cultural transfer to one rooted by nation; the contradictory pressures of the book trade, which relied on translators to energize the market, despite the increasing devaluation of their labor; and the dynamic role played by prose fiction translation in Anglo-French relations across the Channel and in the New World. McMurran examines French and British novels, as well as fiction that circulated in colonial North America, and she considers primary source materials by writers as varied as Frances Brooke, Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson, and Françoise Graffigny. The Spread of Novels reassesses the novel's embodiment of modernity and individualism, discloses the novel's surprisingly unmodern characteristics, and recasts the genre's rise as part of a burgeoning vernacular cosmopolitanism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Prose Fiction: Including Translations The last catalogue of English fiction was published in 1891. In addition to the customary alphabetical arrangement according to authors and titles, the works included in it were classified according to subject matter. The value of the catalogue for reference purposes was further enhanced by notes suggesting books for collateral reading. For such purposes, the catalogue of 1891 is of lasting value. Owing to the changes which have taken place in the contents of the fiction portion of the library, however, its usefulness as a record of available books has been much impaired. New books have been added and old ones have been worn out and removed from the shelves. Of the latter class, many being out of print have not been replaced. The necessity for a new guide to the available works of fiction becoming more and more pressing, this finding list has been prepared.
