The 120 years between Henry Fielding's 'Tom Jones' (1749) and George Eliot's 'Middlemarch' (1871) marked both the rise of the novel and the shift from the presumption of a stable, universal human nature to one that changes over time. In this book, Ian Duncan reorients our understanding of the novel's formation during its cultural ascendancy, arguing that fiction produced new knowledge in a period characterized by the interplay between literary and scientific discourses--even as the two were separating into distinct domains.
