Tietoa kirjasta

Regency Romance Novels - Book Set surveys courtship, sensibility, social ambition, and moral choice across a broad transnational history of the novel. Its selections range from epistolary intrigue and the comedy of manners to Gothic disturbance, historical romance, sentimental fiction, and psychologically acute realism. Drawing together drawing-room wit, scandalous plots, rural idylls, and narratives of revolution or empire, the volume situates Regency romance within the longer development of European prose fiction. Particularly striking are its juxtapositions of domestic comedy with tales of seduction, inheritance, political conscience, and perilous desire. The contributors represent British, Irish, French, German, and Russian traditions, spanning the eighteenth century through the Victorian and later historical-romance imagination. Austen, Burney, Wollstonecraft, Edgeworth, Morgan, Haywood, Hays, Cockburn, and Oliphant enlarge the field of women's writing on education, marriage, class, and autonomy, while Richardson, Fielding, Thackeray, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Stendhal, Goethe, Laclos, and others connect romance to realism, Romanticism, and social satire. Together, these voices reveal Regency culture as a literary crossroads rather than a narrowly bounded period. This set is recommended for readers seeking both pleasure and critical breadth. It offers an exceptional opportunity to compare conventions of love, virtue, gender, rank, and nation across distinct styles and traditions. Students and general readers alike will find a valuable archive of the conversations through which romance became a major vehicle for social thought.
