The Journal of Eighteenth Century Fiction now has a list
of selected free articles
if interested. I found the Defoe articles particularly
interesting, especially after watching
Bunuel's Robinson Crusoe a few weekends ago in a new
restored edition..
It was also one of my favorite books in high
school.
There's also a nice article on William Beckford's Arabian
Tale, whose Vathek
I recently had the pleasure of reading. I haven't yet seen
the new Tristam Shandy
film, but it sounds like a success. Should be out on dvd
soon enough..
Some of the articles I thought were
interesting:
