First published in 1951 (this edition in 1967), this book forms the first part of Arnold Kettle s An Introduction to the English Novel. Since the novel, like every other literary form, is a product of history, the book opens with a discussion of how and why the novel developed in England in the eighteenth century, as well as the function and background of prose fiction.
