Compare Graphic Design Print Culture and the Eighteenth-Century Novel by Janine Barchas, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Janine Barchas explains how the novel's material embodiment as printed book rivalled its narrative content in diversity and creativity in the first half of the eighteenth century. Prose writers such as Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, and Henry and Sarah Fielding experimented with the novel's physical appearance from the beginning of its emergence in Britain. | Graphic Design Print Culture and the Eighteenth-Century Novel by Janine Barchas, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
