NapierNewark, [Delaware] :University of Delaware Press,2016.©20161 online resource (191 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-61149-613-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Contents; Acknowledgments; Preface; Introduction; Chapter One: "Strange Relations"; Chapter Two: "Meer Manage"; Chapter Three: "What am I a Whore for now?"; Chapter Four: "Trusty Agents"; Epilogue; Coda; Works Cited; Index; About the AuthorThis book examines the concern with narrativity and self-construction in Defoe's first-person fictional narratives. Arguing that recent materialist approaches to Defoe are insufficiently attentive to the dominant preoccupations of his fictional oeuvre, which center on issues of moral accountability and self-definition, it addresses the need to examine more sharply Defoe's novelistic achievement in the realm of character and narration and those aesthetic and ethical experiments that constitute his innovative achievements in the novel form.823/.5Napier Elizabeth R.1950-169009MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821608303321Defoe's major fiction3942376UNINA
