Number and Pattern in the Eighteenth-Century Novel: Defoe, Fielding, Smollett and Sterne (Routledge Library Editions: 18th Century Literature) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

First published in 1973, the author breaks new ground in revealing that familiarity with this technique lived on into the 18th century.
