"Mind over Matter offers a new history of the early, eighteenth-century, novel in relation to empiricism's central claim about memory. 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"-- Provided by publisher.
Sarah Eron is Associate Professor of English at the University of Rhode Island and author of Inspiration in the Age of Enlightenment.
