Introduction: An Epoch in the Mind of the Reader -- The Many Faces of the Reformist Hero -- Incarcerated Women and the Uses of the Gothic -- Race and the Disenfranchised in 1790s Britain -- Gambling, Dueling, and Social Depravity in the Haut Ton -- The Dulci with the Utile: Allegorical and Utopian Romance.

Dramatically expanding the boundaries of the British Jacobin novel, Conversion and Reform in the British Novel in the 1790s analyzes the works of a wide range of British reformists writing in the 1790s, including William Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Smith, Mary Robinson,and Maria Edgeworth, who reshaped the conventions of contemporary fiction to position the novel as a progressivepolitical tool. Rather than aiming to launch a bloody revolution, these authors worked to initiate social and political reform in such areas as women's rights, abolition,the Jewish question, and the leveling of the class system in Britain by converting the individual reader, one reader at a time.
