His study argues that such descriptions are important to the British imagination of community. By making visible what it means to own something, they illuminate how competing concepts of property define the boundaries of the individual, of social community, and of political systems. In this way, Schmidgen recovers description as a major feature of eighteenth-century prose, and he makes his case across a wide range of authors, including Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, William Blackstone, Adam Smith, and Ann Radcliffe. The book's most incisive theoretical contribution lies in its careful insistence on the unity of the human and the material: in Schmidgen's argument, persons and things are inescapably entangled. This approach produces fresh insights into the relationship between law, literature, and economics. 517 3 $aEighteenth-Century Fiction & the Law of Property 606 $aEnglish fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLaw and literature$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aDwellings in literature 606 $aLandscapes in literature 606 $aProperty in literature 606 $aLaw in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aDwellings in literature. 615 0$aLandscapes in literature. 615 0$aProperty in literature. 615 0$aLaw in literature. 676 $a823.609355 700 $aSchmidgen$b Wolfram$01843832 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956796603321 996 $aEighteenth-century fiction and the law of property$94425711 997 $aUNINA
