Historical boundaries, narrative forms
de Mayer, Robert, Lorna Clymer, Robert Mayer
"These essays examine the connections between the early modern British novel and related narratives including historiography, utopias, autobiography, romance, and accounts of crime and piracy. They also investigate literary forms of particular importance during the long eighteenth century such as fables, travel narratives, gothic fiction, and satire, as well as one architectural form: the cottage ornee. The volume concludes with an essay on Coetzee's complex novel Foe. All of the essays are related to the career-long interests of Professor Everett Zimmerman (1936-2003) and are collected here in his honor."--BOOK JACKET.
