The It-Narrative in Eighteenth-Century England: Animals and Objects in Circulation

Abstract

This brief essay discusses the late eighteenth-century vogue for the it-narrative or novel of circulation, a brand of prose fiction in which animals and objects typically narrate their own life stories. It also traces the critical fortunes of this unusual subgenre, noting that it is becoming a hot subject in eighteenth-century studies.
