sewn PAPERBACK, deep crease line at about page 110 but sewn binding holds well, otherwise good lightly used copy. note in ink: "lending copy" on front endpaper. INSCRIBED to a recipient with first name only as a token of admiration and regard and SIGNED by the author: Bill. WARNER, WILLIAM BEATTY. Licensing entertainment: the elevation of novel reading in Britain, 1684-1750. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xvi, 325pp., . What happens to the culture of early modern Britain when the relatively new communications technology of print, developed to promote the highest purposes of religion, law, and education, is instead appropriated as a medium for entertainment? William Warner shows how the earliest British novels, published in small portable format, underwrote the freedom and pleasure of readers, and in so doing provoked an early instance of the modern anxiety about the effects of new media on consumers. Novels have been a respectable component of culture for so long that it is difficult for twentieth-century observers to grasp the unease produced by early novel reading. Warner uncovers a buried and neglected history of the way the novel was shaped in response to a newly vigorous market in narratives. In order to rein in the sexy and egotistical novel of amorous intrigue, novelists and critics redefined the novel as morally respectable, masculine, British, realistic, and, finally, literary. Warner emphasizes the role of early novelists as entertainers and media workers, and shows how the short, erotic, plot-driven fiction written by Behn, Manley, and Haywood came to be absorbed and overwritten by the novels of Defoe, Richardson, and Fielding. His account replaces the history of the rise of the novel with a more inclusive cultural history. 9780520212961 ISBN 0520212967.

Novels have been a respectable component of culture for so long that it is difficult for twentieth-century observers to grasp the unease produced by novel reading in the eighteenth century. William Warner shows how the earliest novels in Britain, published in small-format print media, provoked early instances of the modern anxiety about the effects of new media on consumers. Warner uncovers a buried and neglected history of the way in which the idea of the novel was shaped in response to a newly vigorous market in popular narratives. In order to rein in the sexy and egotistical novel of amorous intrigue, novelists and critics redefined the novel as morally respectable, largely masculine in authorship, national in character, realistic in its claims, and finally, literary. Warner considers early novelists in their role as entertainers and media workers, and shows how the short, erotic, plot-driven novels written by Behn, Manley, and Haywood came to be absorbed and overwritten by the popular novels of Defoe, Richardson, and Fielding.Considering these novels as entertainment as well as literature, Warner traces a different story - one that redefines the terms within which the British novel is to be understood and replaces the literary history of the rise of the novel with a more inclusive cultural history.
