[edit] BRITISH FICTION AND THE PRODUCTION OF SOCIAL ORDER, 1740-1830
Burgess places authors such as Scott and Wollstonecraft in a new economic and social context.
In British Fiction and the Production of Social Order Miranda Burgess examines what Romantic-period writers called 'romance': a hybrid genre defined by a shared role in the negotiation of conflicts between political economy and moral philosophy. Reading a broad range of fictional and nonfictional works published between 1740 and 1830, Burgess places authors such as Richardson, Scott, Austen and Wollstonecraft in a new economic, social, and cultural context. She explores the interaction between writing and the formation of community, particularly in relation to issues of legitimacy and g ender. Burgess argues that the romance held a key role in remaking the national order of a Britain dependent on ideologies of human nature for justification of its social, economic, and political systems.
