This book draws upon social, political and legal history to show that law and family play a central role in shaping the fictional world of six eighteenth-century English novels. Through detailed analysis of works by Defoe, Richardson, Fielding and others, Zomchick argues that the novel served an important cultural and political function by associating a happy outcome to the plot with the protagonists' successful internalisation of legal principles. The book thus casts new light on the central importance of the law for the individual in a developing market society.
