Number and Pattern in the Eighteenth-Century Novel (eBook, PDF)

Defoe, Fielding, Smollett and Sterne

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Numerological patterning in literature, where structural details of a literary work are symbolically related to its meaning on the verbal level, was common from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. First published in 1973, the author breaks new ground in revealing that familiarity with this technique lived on into the 18th century.
