Alright Derek-- At your prompting, I have hacked out a section on Western antecedents of the novel. Let me know what you think; it's about all I got on the ancient novel for now.
I might also chip in on the section on [[Jane Austen]]. It's been a while since I have done anything with Austen scholarship, but I'll try to contribute something.
Do you know [[W.H. Auden|Auden's]] "Letter to Lord Byron", specifically the part about Austen?

You could not shock her more than she shocks me;
  Beside her Joyce seems innocent as grass.
It makes me most uncomfortable to see
  An English spinster of the middle-class
  Describe the amorous effects of 'brass',
Reveal so frankly and with such sobriety
The economic basis of society.

Novel article

Alright Derek-- At your prompting, I have hacked out a section on Western antecedents of the novel. Let me know what you think; it's about all I got on the ancient novel for now.

I might also chip in on the section on Jane Austen. It's been a while since I have done anything with Austen scholarship, but I'll try to contribute something.

Do you know Auden's "Letter to Lord Byron", specifically the part about Austen?

You could not shock her more than she shocks me;
  Beside her Joyce seems innocent as grass.
It makes me most uncomfortable to see
  An English spinster of the middle-class
  Describe the amorous effects of 'brass',
Reveal so frankly and with such sobriety
The economic basis of society.

Somehow, I can't get the formatting right, but whatever. See you around, Brian P. Long 19:00, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
