Book Synopsis


Trade Review

“No one can read this book with any degree of care and not find a stream of useful perceptions (and information) about Beebee’s tricorned eighteenth-century universe (England, France, and Germany). Not that the book is limited to eighteenth-century matters: both the use and discussion of theory, throughout the manuscript, and the good final chapter, in which a historical overlay is added, broaden the scope and utility of Beebee’s work, making it challenging and important reading for anyone interested in Richardson or the eighteenth-century, in translation theory and practice, in the comparative history of the novel, and also in the relevance and even the truth of much of modern literary theory.”
