The Politics of Custom in Eighteenth-Century British -- Revitalizing the Moral Economy in the Wake of the South Sea Bubble: Moll Flanders (1722) and Roxana (1724) -- Pamela's 'Neat Country Apparel' (1740): Ballads and Scribbling Servants in the Literary Marketplace --"The Real Soul of a Man in Her Breast": Memoirs of Females Soldiers and Military Nationalism, 1740-1750 -- "Lost in a Mob of Impudent Plebeians": Landed Gentry, British Identity, and Popular Culture in Humphry Clinker (1771) -- Caleb Williams (1794): Radical Incursions into Customary Politics and Genre.

The Politics of Custom in Eighteenth-Century British Fiction breaks new ground in the history of the novel by revealing both the persistent influence of popular culture and of an older, patrician model of social relations. Bowen demonstrates that this "customary culture" had effects not just on novelistic representation, but on the British imagination as a whole.� Resisting the view of the novel's rise as one of increasing refinement and politeness, Bowen draws from a variety of popular sources, such as the criminal broadside, ballad, graphic prints, and pantomimes to foreground the eighteenth-century novel's cultural and social hybridity. This book further argues that representations of popular and laboring culture serve as repositories of traditional social values, strategically mobilized by authors such as Defoe, Richardson, Smollett, and Godwin in order to both impede and make palatable Britain's transition to a modern, capitalist and imperial state.
