Although our main focus will be on the rise of the novel (which may be subdivided into the Puritan, the mock-Puritan, and the sentimental tradition), we will also look at related literary traditions such as the (mock-)epic and the mock-heroic.
Furthermore we will discuss samples of 18th ct. drama, satire, and poetry.
