The novel in early eighteenth century England: Defoe and Haywood
This tutorial with second year students in English at Mansfield College, Oxford University, explores early attempts to define and categorise the 'new' genre of the novel. Discussion centres on Daniel Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' and 'Moll Flanders' alongside a less well known novel of the same period, Eliza Haywood's 'Love in Excess'.
