Opis

Novel Machines explores the ideas of technological modernity and the machinery of narrative fiction in the eighteenth-century British novel.

Recenzje

Drury offers rich, thick readings that both persuade one to view these fictions in new ways and suggest possibilities for reinvigorating the practice of formal critical analysis. It is rare to find a book that offers an angle of study as boldly fresh as this one does, and it is equally satisfying to find this done so well as Drury has managed it. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty.
