About this book
A History of English Prose Fiction is by Bayard Tuckerman. The preface says the volume attempts to trace the gradual progress of English Prose Fiction from the early romance to the novel of the present day.
The text offers the championship of the cause of Isabel, Queen of Edward the Second of England, by Sir John of Hainault as a charming illustration of the adventures of knights-errant and their obligation to render aid and comfort to all distressed ladies and damsels. The text says it is impossible, within the limits of this volume, to give an adequate idea of the disease, the squalor, the cruelties and abuses which existed in the prisons. The text says there is nothing of modern realism in Hawthorne's novels, and yet they leave a realistic impression behind them.
