Features: These are some of the questions I address here, and they are very broad, so the discussion must be selective. For example, I can only occasionally discuss the earlier traditions of fictional stories, and I cannot discuss my main characters' more direct predecessors and contemporaries more directly; similarly, unfortunately, my discussion of Fielding is much briefer than my research on Defoe and Richardson.
