	Epistolary Novel ~ Joe Bray ~ eBookMall ~ eBook
		The epistolary novel is a form which has been neglected in most accounts of the development of the novel.
		This book argues that the way that the eighteenth-century epistolary novel represented consciousness had a significant influence on the later novel.
		This book demonstrates that the tensions within consciousness are the result of a continual interaction between the two selves of the letter-writer and charts the oscillation between these two selves in the epistolary novels of, amongst others, Aphra Behn, Eliza Haywood, Samuel Richardson, Fanny Burney and Charlotte Smith.

		The first novel to explore deeply the complex play that the genre allows was Aphra Behn's Love-Letters Between a Noble-Man and his Sister (1684), which appeared in three successive volumes in 1684, 1685, and 1687.
		The novel tested the genre's limits of changing perspectives: individual points were presented by the individual correspondents, and the central author's voice and moral judgement disappeared (at least in the first volume; her further volumes introduced a narrator).

		Thus, the modern novel is rooted in two traditions, the mimetic and the fantastic, or the realistic and the romantic.

		In her second chapter, she usefully shows how the novel acquires centrality through these other forms: "Abridgment contributed to define prose narrative as the transparent medium into which all other genres could eventually be translated" (83).
		An example of this is the Lambs' Tales from Shakespeare, a novelization of Shakespeare meant to appeal to particular types of readers, such as families or women, with the aim of providing a version cleansed of its immoral theatricality, or as Price writes of "displac[ing] the stage by the family" (84).
		As readers of Eliot's "Silly Novels by Lady Novelists" know, Eliot tries to encourage a more serious mission for the novel and the novel reader; but this was also at odds, Price argues, with what was shaping up to be, according to Victorian reviewers of Eliot, "the business-and the responsibility-of fiction" (151).

	Elisabeth Lenckos
		Thus, it could be argued that her novels mark the end of the era of epistolary fiction and ring in the age of the new novel, distinguished by a more controlled, centered, and authorial perspective, coupled with the recreation on the page of a natural-seeming, realistic depiction of human communication.
		The novel of letters had long been associated with the “cult of sentiment” dominant in the eighteenth century, and its history had been closely associated with the subject of women in love corresponding, then dying tragically of a broken heart.
		In all of her novels, Austen allows only their two love letters to appear; and for that reason, in addition to the transforming power of their diction, their effectiveness is heightened in a way that remains unparalleled in literary history.

	Oliver Scheiding
		According to the advertisements of Brown’s first novel, the book was apparently “intended to enforce attention to female education, and to represent the fatal consequences of Seduction” (1789, quoted in Walser 1982/83, 65).
		However, contrary to a reading of the novel in terms of a failed attempt to imitate established genres, I would like to suggest that Brown’s failure signals the cultural potential of the early American novel: The novel’s explicit violation of readerly expectations creates a rather ‘open text’.
		It fails in explaining the “consequences of seduction.” Furthermore, absorbing the reader into the murky correspondence of several characters, Brown’s epistolary novel bases itself on a theory of narrative and aesthetic effect that inverts the truth-fiction relation.
