2 vols, cloth, large 4to, xvii, 325 + 329-700 pp, ills, facs. A very handsomely produced and extensively illustrated set. Contains 51 sections on individual novelists of the period, each written by an expert, typically providing brief biographical facts, a list of first editions, a bio-critical essay providing a chronological discussion of the author's novels and discussing the initial and subsequent critical response, and a listing of other biographical and critical studies of the author. Illustrated with author portraits, facsimile title and text pages, manuscript pages, scenes from the authors' lives etc. From the introduction - "As a reference work, these volumes are unique in that they bring together for the first time authoritative critical biographies of no fewer than fifty-one authors, pioneers all, who - some, to be sure, managing the business more successfully than others - created the forms and established the thematic concerns of the classic British novel. Of these fifty-one authors the great majority will be unknown to any but the most assiduous specialists in the field. The five great masters are well known, of course - Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Smollett, and Sterne - and they are well represented here in substantial essays by scholars who know them thoroughly. No less familiar to most readers will be those authors who have given us a single classic work of prose fiction, such as Cleland's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1749), Walpole's Castle of Otranto (1764), Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield (1766), Mackenzie's Man of Feeling (1771), Godwin's Caleb Williams (1794), and Lewis's The Monk (1796) - and a few others, such as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Swift's Gullivers Travels (1726), Johnson's Rasselas (1759), and Beckford's Vathek (1787), which, though not generally regarded as novels, employ many of the conventions of the genre and even in their eccentricities help to define the elusive norm. Many readers will also have discovered for themselves the novels of three of the most interesting women of the period - the prolific and irrepressible Aphra Behn; Sarah Fielding, Henry's wise and gifted sister; and the celebrated Gothicist Ann Radcliffe. But here will also be found illuminating essays on more than thirty other novelists - most of them now quite forgotten - whose talents and intellectual concerns seemed remarkable enough in their own age to win them both a measure of critical acclaim and a considerable degree of popularity. Many of these writers were women who felt only too keenly the unjust social and political constraints that have caused their twentieth-century sisters to protest." Contents: Part 1: A-L; Part 2: M-Z. An ex-library set with spine-labels taped on spines, stamps on each edge of the textblocks, stamps on the front free endpapers, title-pages and rear pastedown endpapers, barcode stickers on rear boards, contents otherwise clean.…
