From its roots in medieval romance and Elizabethan theater, through the pioneering works of Defoe and Fielding, this comprehensive 1899 study traces the origins and growth of the English novel in all its variety: the Gothic novel, the novel of manners, the historical novel, the realistic reaction, and the psychological novel, including works by his contemporaries such as James and Kipling.
