Description
Originally published in 1938, this book explores six 'minor phenomena' from eighteenth-century literature. Each figure is briefly discussed in Tompkins' earlier book, The Popular Novel in England, but here they are dealt with more fully. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in overlooked British authors.
