The stories things tell -- pt. 2. Approaching it-narratives -- pt 3. It-narratives in transition. 330 $aThis collection enriches and complicates the history of prose fiction between Richardson and Fielding at mid-century and Austen at the turn of the century by focusing on it-narratives, a once popular form largely forgotten by readers and critics alike. The volume also advances important work on eighteenth-century consumer culture and the theory of things. The essays that comprise The Secret Life of Things thus bring new texts, and new ways of thinking about familiar ones, to our notice. Those essays range from the role of it-narratives in period debates about copyright to their complex relationship with object-riddled sentimental fictions, from anti-semitism in Chrysal to jingoistic imperialism in The Adventures of a Rupee, from the it-narrative as a variety of whore's biography to a consideration of its contributions to an emergent middle-class ideology. 410 0$aBucknell studies in eighteenth-century literature and culture. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMaterial culture in literature 606 $aMaterial culture$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aConsumption (Economics) in literature 606 $aProperty in literature 606 $aAnimals in literature 606 $aHuman-animal relationships in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMaterial culture in literature. 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 615 0$aConsumption (Economics) in literature. 615 0$aProperty in literature. 615 0$aAnimals in literature. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships in literature. 676 $a823/.509355 701 $aBlackwell$b Mark$f1966-$01861764 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957326303321 996 $aThe secret life of things$94467963 997 $aUNINA
