History of the Novel

[brandyalexander]

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knew of programs particularly involved with studying the history and development of the novel. I am especially interested in schools that focus on philosophical and epistemological movements and how they contribute to literary and critical content. It is hard for me to narrow the search down because my interest interacts with the entire history and future of the novel, rather than one particular period. Thanks!

I'm not too sure, but I know there are some people at UMass Amherst who are doing a lot with the history of the book (though I don't know about the novel specifically).

I think UCR has a great deal of "rise of the novel" PhDs and classes.

Excellent, I will look into those programs--thanks so much!
