Journal Article
Narrative Markets, ca. 1850
1997
Overview
In the course of the nineteenth century novels were read all over Europe-from London to Wolverhampton and Penzance, and from France to Denmark and Hungary. But were they the same novels? Yes and no, answers Franco Moretti on the basis of commercial libraries' records and national bibliographies. Yes, because European cultural markets were indeed unified by the extraordinary success of the Anglo-French narrative modeL But no, because most of Europe was left with a very narrow range of choices, whereas the larger \"core\" markets were morphologically richer and more flexible. The article is an unusual attempt to apply quantitative methods to the history of literature, and to assess how the size and international position of each market acts as a constraint on aesthetic form.
