It shows how some eighteenth-century authors, such as Frances Burney (1752–1840), mobilize one kind of convention, typically understood as literary precedent, within novel narratives as a part of how they particularize their protagonists, and it makes a case for further examination of how conventional and particular elements interact to form character in the eighteenth-century novel. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Eighteenth Century Fiction is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
