| Sommario/riassunto: | Providing original readings of such major texts as Gulliver's Travels and Clarissa, this study enlarges our sense of the Modernizing process. It also shows how a consumer-driven, Darwinian model of adaptive change, affecting literature and its readership, can help us understand the ways in which literature can have social efficacy. |
