The English Novel 1770-1829: Volume II, 1800-1829

Autor Peter Garside, James Raven, Rainer Schöwerling
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2000
This bibliography provides the first complete and copy-based record of the production of new English fiction in the period 1800-1829. The main listings include 2,256 entries, all but forty of which (where no surviving copy could be found) are based on examination of a first edition of the actual novel described. As a result of ten years of Anglo-German co-operation the bibliography makes especial use of the recently discovered collection of English novels of Schloss Corvey in Germany, whose holdings in English fiction 1796-1834 almost certainly exceed those held by any other library, including the British Library. In particular the bibliography is able to record over 100 titles which investigations have suggested are entirely unique to Corvey. Numerous libraries have also been visited in Britain and North America, leading to further novels which have fallen from the record. In offering a full transcription of title page details, the bibliography offers a much sharper view than has been previously available of the ways in which novels were projected to their audience when originally published. A variety of new attributions are made, while at the same time existing attributions are challenged, An extensive historical introduction by Peter Garside offers a comprehensive overview of the main aspects of production, marketing and reception of fiction in the Romantic era.

Recenzii

the nearest thing to a complete listing we have for any period before the twentieth century ... certainly the most scrupulous ... magnificent bibliography
The first thorough attempt to identify and accurately record as a generic formation the full range of new prose fiction published in Britain between 1770 and 1829. ... Together these two volumes bring into sharper focus the variety, instability, fragility, and resilience of the novel during a vital sixty-year period.
extensive and well-crafted historical introductions ... As a bibliography and an historical and critical resource for the development of the novel during the late eighteenth century and the Romantic period, this is an impressive achievement - a major work of reference.
For anyone interested in the history of the novel, the publication of The English Novel 1770-1829: A Bibliographical Survey is unquestionably a major event. ...we owe a debt to the present editors and the team they have assembled, who have meticulously trawled the globe for extant copies, and who have taken the utmost care in the presentation of the material. Covering the key consolidating decades in the rise of the novel, it has been a Herculean task. If ever a work deserved the phrase, a monument to modern scholarship, it is this one. ... Both volumes come with a long, introductory essay: ... they are significant works in themselves. ... The introductions are generously supplied with tables and graphs which help the reader grasp the major trends at a glance.
