Eron considers how memory's creative force empowers both characters and readers-how that force alters, reconstitutes, and even overcomes the conditions of our physical environment. Works discussed include those by Daniel Defoe, Frances Burney, Laurence Sterne, and Jane Austen"-- UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=2704189 ER -
