The novel and its critics
in Novel horizons
Abstract only
Log-in for full text

This chapter offers a historical survey of criticism of the form of the novel, going back to seventeenth-century debates. It shows how questions of canonicity determine most critical approaches and how the debate about the novel as a genre has developed from a fringe interest to a highly-specialized sub-discipline of literary studies. It points to the Restoration as a historical moment that, in these critical debates, is frequently ignored.
