Cr�ticas:

Natasha Tessone offers an important intervention into current critical understandings of the novel's reliance on and reimagining of structures of property and inheritance. In this thought-provoking study, she emphasizes the national dimension of the inheritance plot, examining novels by Irish and Scottish authors that feature dispossession, broken families, and restrictive entails.... A real strength of Disputed Titles is its compelling close readings of the novels under consideration.... Tessone seamlessly integrates complex theory into her arguments.... In this strikingly original book, Tessone encourages us to see the rise of the novel anew by moving novels from the Irish and Scottish "peripheries" of Britain to the centre of that rise. * Eighteenth-Century Fiction *

Rese�a del editor:

Disputed Titles illuminates the ways in which inheritance shaped British novels of the Romantic period allowing them to negotiate the broader concerns of religious, ethnic, and national identities. It examines legal and material practices of inheritance and traces how the political and discursive implications developed of inheritance in discrete but parallel ways in both Ireland and Scotland since the "Glorious" Revolution, through the Jacobite Uprisings, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and up to the Reform Act.
