    Emily Friedman deposited “Let people tell their stories their own way”: Tristram Shandy as Novel, Provocation, Remix in the group Group logo of LLC Late-18th-Century EnglishLLC Late-18th-Century English on MLA Commons 1 year ago

    In the fall of 2019 I taught my eighteenth-century novel course as an exercise in slow reading, taking a tactic I had used before: putting a canonical work of fiction into the context of the other voices in the literary marketplace, and the circumstances of its making. For such a course, Tristram Shandy is an ideal central text. It was published…[Read more]

The first part of the essay offers a genealogy of historical poetics, accounting for some of…[Read more]

    It is well known that Walter Scott adapted the forms of sentimental fiction for his initial trilogy of novels on Scottish manners and that he drew on philosophical theories of sympathy when conceiving of his characters and placing them in historical relation to one another and to his readership.

    This article proposes a new literary history of British Asia that examines its earliest communities and cultural institutions in translocal and regional registers. Combining translocalism and regionalism redefines Anglo‐Indian writing as constituted by multisited forces, only one of which is the reciprocal exchange between Britain and its c…[Read more]
