| Summary |
"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. |
