Making the Novel Fiction and Society in

Hammond and Regan advance a new cultural reading of the formation of the British novel. Rejecting a teleological narrative of the genre's rise, the study presents a dynamic picture of the emergence of the novel, that focuses upon formal innovation, social engagement, and artistic and commercial competition.

Brean Hammond is Professor of English at the University of Nottingham. Shaun Regan is Lecturer in Eighteenth-Century and Romantic Literature at Queen's University Belfast.
