What a fine book this is! Something like this is surely needed; most books aimed at undergraduates are broader than the eighteenth-century novel; most books on the eighteenth-century novel are inaccessible to undergraduates. And few works for either audience combine an introduction to the theory of the novel with a set of specific readings of novels. It touches on most of the major canonical figures, but also includes some less well-known works and authors. All of which is to say that it fills a need. The book is not only well-conceived; it's also well written. It keeps up a lively pace, and it provides plentiful examples that make the authors' points well. Perhaps best of all...it also has genuinely new things to say'--Jack Lynch, Rutgers University.
