Las Cruces
Abstract
The novel has long entertained Western society, but it has sometimes been at odds with it, as well when perceived as frivolous or inartistic. The narrator of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey bemoans the attitude of the late 18th century toward young women reading novels, saying, "Although our productions have afforded more extensive and unaffected pleasure than those of any other literary corporation in the world, no species of composition has been so much decried" (ch. 5).
