Conclusion.The French Revolution sparked an ideological debate which also brought Britain to the brink of revolution in the 1790s. Just as radicals wrote 'Jacobin' fiction, so the fear of rebellion prompted conservatives to respond with novels of their own; indeed, these soon outnumbered the Jacobin novels. This was the first survey of the full range of conservative novels produced in Britain during the 1790s and early 1800s. M. O. Grenby examines the strategies used by conservatives in their fiction, thus shedding new light on how the anti-Jacobin campaign was understood and organised in Britain. Chapters cover the representation of revolution and rebellion, the attack on the 'new philosophy' of radicals such as Godwin and Wollstonecraft, and the way in which hierarchy is defended in these novels. Grenby's book offers an insight into the society which produced and consumed anti-Jacobin novels, and presents a case for reexamining these neglected texts.Cambridge studies in Romanticism ;48.English fiction18th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismConservatismGreat BritainHistory18th centuryConservatismGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPolitical fiction, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish fictionFrench influencesRomanticismGreat BritainConservatism in literatureJacobins in literatureFranceHistoryRevolution, 1789-1799Literature and the revolutionFranceHistoryRevolution, 1789-1799Foreign public opinion, BritishEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.English fictionHistory and criticism.ConservatismHistoryConservatismHistoryPolitical fiction, EnglishHistory and criticism.English fictionFrench influences.RomanticismConservatism in literature.Jacobins in literature.823/.609358Grenby M.
