520 8 A footprint materializes mysteriously on a deserted shore;
a giant helmet falls from the sky; a traveler awakens to
find his horse dangling from a church steeple. Eighteenth-
century fiction brims with moments such as these, in which
the prosaic rubs up against the marvelous. While it is a
truism that the period's literature is distinguished by
its realism and air of probability, Eighteenth-Century
Fiction and the Reinvention of Wonder argues that wonder
is integral to-rather than antithetical to-the developing
techniques of novelistic fiction. Positioning its reader
on the cusp between recognition and estrangement, between
faith and doubt, modern fiction hinges upon wonder.
'Eighteenth-Century Fiction and the Reinvention of
Wonder's chapters unfold its new account of fiction's rise
through surprising new readings of classic early novels-
from Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe to Jane Austen's
Northanger Abbey-as well as bringing to attention lesser
known works, most notably Rudolf Raspe's Baron
Munchausen's 'Narrative of His Marvellous Travels'. In
this bold new account, the eighteenth century bears
witness not to the world's disenchantment but rather to
wonder's re-location from the supernatural realm to the
empirical world, providing a re-evaluation not only of how
we look back at the Enlightenment, but also of how we read
today.
