[headline]Offers compelling insights into the eighteenth-century novel and its vibrant relationships with the arts The eighteenth century witnessed an explosion in new literary and creative forms. This volume brings together developments from different disciplines in the wider field of eighteenth-century studies to address the complex interplay between eighteenth-century prose fiction and the arts. By employing a broad understanding of 'the arts', it goes beyond the territories usually covered in connection with novel writing to offer a wider perspective on the inter-artistic contexts of the novel form's development. The twenty-eight newly commissioned essays comprising The Edinburgh Companion to the Eighteenth-Century British Novel and the Arts provide readers with a unique opportunity to navigate a vast and sprawling terrain through engaging scholarly insights.
