Book Summary

This dissertation proposes a Catholic history of the eighteenth-century English novel. Situating realist fiction as a form deeply imbricated in a metaphysical conflict over the truth of human creations, I draw upon the iconic to describe the ways in which texts such as Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, Jane Barker's patchwork fictions, Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, and Elizabeth Inchbald's A Simple Story position themselves as fictions and as art. Rather than identifying a specifically Catholic literary form, I argue that Catholicism -- both its doctrines and the discourses surrounding it -- set the terms through which fiction writers conceptualized their formal innovations in the eighteenth century.
