Description
This book shows how early women novelists from Aphra Behn to Mary Davys drew on debates about the self generated by the ‘scientific’ revolution to establish the novel as a genre. Fascinated by the problematic idea of a unified self underpinning modes of thinking, female novelists innovated narrative structures to interrogate this idea.Typham this is the title: Women, the Novel, and Natural Philosophy, 1660�1727
