Key Eighteenth-Century Novel5
The Vicar of Wakefield is one of the key texts in any reading of eighteenth-century English literature. It's characters are drawn not from life, but from type: exemplary models of how we might (or might choose not to) live. Read it alongside Sterne, MacKenzie, the Fieldings and Smollett: appreciate its impact upon gothic writing from Radcliffe to Shelley.
