Place reservation for The lives of the novelists : a history of fiction in 294 livesArranged in chronological order, these novelist's lives are opinionated, informative, frequently funny and often shocking. The authors come from all over the world; their writings illustrate every kind of fiction from gothic, penny dreadfuls and pornography to fantasy, romance and high literature. The book shows the changing forms of the genre, and how the aspirations of authors to divert and sometimes educate has in some respects radically changed over the centuries, and in others remained remarkably constant.
