Space and the Eighteenth-Century English Novel

Simon Varey relates the idea of spatial design in the major novels of Defoe, Fielding and Richardson to its use in the theory and practice of eighteenth-century architecture. His central argument is that such design has political implications. He draws on a wide range of architectural books, and on the example of the city of Bath, including the discussion of novels such as Robinson Crusoe, Tom Jones and Clarissa.Varey, Simon is the author of 'Space and the Eighteenth-Century English Novel', published 2006 under ISBN 9780521031790 and ISBN 0521031796.
