- The monograph aims to reframe the eighteenth-century novel as a form that responds to changing mobility. It was the result of three years of doctoral research, and another 18 months rewriting and rethinking this work. It necessitated sustained engagement with geographical writing, transport history, and narratives of the novel in the period. It also required reading a substantial corpus of texts, including all the fictional work of Defoe, Fielding, Richardson, Smollett, Sterne, Bage and Austen. The book analyses over 70 novels (in a century not famed for crystalline prose), and over 100 novels were read as part of the research
