Eighteenth-Century Fiction and the Law of Property
Schmidgen, Wolfram (Washington University, St Louis)
Wolfram Schmidgen draws on legal and economic writings to analyse the description of houses, landscapes, and commodities in eighteenth-century fiction. Schmidgen recovers description as a major category of eighteenth-century prose, examining a wide range of authors, including Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, William Blackstone, Adam Smith, and Ann Radcliffe.
