Adorning fictional narratives of rakes and sex workers, oppressed heroines and Jacobite heroes, the epigraph has been used by authors to preach, teach, amuse, or even completely misdirect their readers. Supported by a survey of pre-chapter paratext in nearly 6000 novels from 1750 to 1850, this monograph explores the changing influences upon and functions of epigraphs over time via detailed close readings and literary criticism. Focusing upon key generic developments, this book adopts a case-study style format to examine epigraphic usage in the works of canonical authors including Sarah Fielding, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Smith, Walter Scott, and Elizabeth Gaskell alongside those of less well-known novelists such as William Chaigneau, Elizabeth Helme, and Catherine Gore. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEpigraphs (Literature) 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEpigraphs (Literature). 676 $a823.509 700 $aReadioff$b Corrina $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$00 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996556964703316 996 $aEpigraphs in the English Novel 1750-1850$93601787 997 $aUNISA
