About this book

From romance to the end of the nineteenth century, George Saintsbury surveys the English novel, leaving out novelists still living in 1912. The chapters run from the foundation in romance and the stretch from Lyly to Swift, through the eighteenth-century novel, Scott and Miss Austen, and the successors up to Thackeray, to the mid-Victorian novel. He says he aims less to review single books than to show how the form developed, and notes that earlier studies by Dunlop, Raleigh and Lanier left the whole subject untreated. He was professor of English literature at Edinburgh.
