Focusing on the reading habits of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the book delves into how these practices influenced literary genres. Through an analysis of works by notable authors like Defoe, Swift, Richardson, and Fielding, it uncovers a critical discourse that allowed both authors and readers to question and satirize fiction. This engaging study provides a fresh perspective on Restoration and eighteenth-century literature and politics, particularly in relation to the evolution of the novel.
