Realism has been the conventional framework for treating this subject within literary studies. This Element identifies the limitations of the realism framework for addressing the question of knowledge in the eighteenth-century novel. Moving beyond the familiar focus in the study of novelistic realism on problems of perception and representation, this Element focuses instead on how the eighteenth-century novel staged problems of inductive reasoning. It argues that we should understand the novel's contributions to empirical knowledge primarily in terms of what the novel offered as training ground for methods of reasoning, rather than what it offered in terms of formal innovations for representing knowledge. We learn from such a shift that the eighteenth-century novel was not a failed experiment in realism, or in representing things as they are, but a valuable system for reasoning and thought experiment. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 71-76). 505 0 $a Introduction -- Eighteenth-century theories of knowledge -- The novel of data -- The novel of perception -- The novel of testimony -- Conclusion. 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a Knowledge, Theory of $x In literature. 650 0 $a Empiricism in literature. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Empiricism in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908952 650 7 $a English fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108866378 830 0 $a Cambridge elements. $p Elements in eighteenth-century connections 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010917.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3633B2D8E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
