Reading Smell in Eighteenth-Century Fiction

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Now available for the first time in paperback, Reading Smell in Eighteenth-Century Fiction examines how far the novel can be understood through a reintroduction of olfactory information and considers how the recovery of forgotten or overlooked olfactory assumptions might reshape our understanding of canonical works by authors like Swift, Smollett, Richardson, Burney, Austen, and Lewis.
