 CLIO: Telling the Tale of The Rise of the Novel.(Ian Watt, 'The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and ...
The most influential story ever told about the origins of the novel is Ian Watt's The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and Fielding, published in 1957.(1) Indeed, for the past four decades, the debate over the novel's origins has been framed largely by Watt's account.
While Watt's followers, to this day, still pay tribute to his ground-breaking study of the novel's rise during the eighteenth century even as they extend and complicate his vision of literary history, his critics continue to articulate their resistance to the story he tells by challenging the...

 GARY'S CLASS/WATT
Watt interprets Conrad's use of the word "symbolic" to possibly mean "that in the greatest works of literature the characters and their destinies stand for much more than their particular selves and actions, and are representative of more universal feeling and situations.
This metaphor in the beginning of Heart of Darkness is what Ian Watt's article, "Impressionism and Symbolism in Heart of Darkness" discusses regarding the shell of the nut or the haze around the glow.

 mppreface
Watt himself, it must be said, infrequently toyed with Freudian schemata, as manifested in Chapters 10 and 12 below.
Like Watt himself, the great Augustan authors were empiricists not in the sense of skeptically testing every proposition or of spurning all abstractions, but rather in their upholding of norms that spoke to common human experience.

 george.h.williams: ian watt outmoded?
Digging around in the online archives of the C18-L discussion list, I found this interesting thread on Ian Watt's 1957 book, The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson, and Fielding.
Seriously, I remember reading Watt in grad school and thinking it was one of those Books Where the Answers Are Kept--though Erich Auerbach's Mimesis and Leslie Fiedler's Love and Death in the American Novel taught me the most.
There are, of course, many interesting and influential books on the eighteenth-century novel that have been written since Watt.

 Ian Watt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and Fielding (1957) is an important work in the history of the genre.
Literary critic and literary historian Ian Watt ( 1917 -
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Watt

  
 Title
Watt’s success, as Paul Hunter argues, was the manner in which he annunciated such a history in a manner plausible, workable and accessible.
He was certainly middle class, he was well known, and his work contains the formal realism, with its “production of what purports to be an authentic account of the actual experiences of individuals” (Watt, p.27) Watt considered so necessary to the genre.
Many of the literary critical successors to Ian Watt, including names such as Michael McKeaon, Nancy Armstrong, Paul Hunter, John Richetti and Madeleine Khan, continue to utilise an aesthetic concept of the novel which excludes Behn (Todd, 2000, 419).

"Ian Watt's The Rise of the Novel still seems to me far and away the best book ever written on the early English novel-wise, humane, beautifully organized and expressed, one of the absolutely indispensable critical works in modern literary scholarship.
"Ian Watt's The Rise of the Novel remains the single indispensable, absolutely essential book for students of the 18th-century novel."-John Richetti, author of The English Novel in History: 1700-1780
Although this is not an exciting book, it is highly informative and well-written.

 History Reports
In reading Ian Watt's book, "The Rise of The Novel," quite a few things were brought to my attention concerning the eighteenth century novel; not only in how it was written and what went into it, but how readers perceived it.
This essay will look into Ian Watt's perceptions on the eighteenth century novel and how it changed from previous literature.
The eighteenth century novel was one that changed the way novels were written in many different ways.

 Ian Watt - Metro Review of "John Laurie, Frazer & I"
Produced and directed by - of all people - Charlie Chuck, this is a touching tribute to both a much-loved character and an underrated performer, a man who became so identified with his final role, few imagined him as anything but.
Ian Watt's faultless performance transcends mimicry to offer an intriguing snapshot of the man who was not Frazer, a revered Shakespearean actor and raconteur, a devoted friend, family man and romantic.

 Announcements
His work is important not only for what it tells us about Conrad, but also for the elegance of its argument and the felicity of its style.
After weighing the evidence, Watt concludes: "I believe, then, that Conrad is a writer to whom the decline theory does not really apply; and to accept it as true may deter us from the deep pleasures afforded by reading the later works."
Ian Watt had a gift for identifying important issues, and he addressed them in a manner so thoroughly meditated and carefully prepared that, in the end, the craft of scholarship is reclaimed as a form of art.

Several factors make this book work very well: Watt's impeccable research and knowledge of not only Conrad, but of Literature and its narrative devices, the careful organization and plan of the book, and his excellent writing which makes this book flow extremely well.
After a brief Biographical introduction, Watt disccuses the following four works only: "Almayer's Folly", "The Nigger of the Narcissus", "Heart of Darkness" and "Lord Jim".
In the "Nigger of the Narcissus", Watt shows how Conrad through his own writing and reading was able to begin to develop his own Style.

Essays on Conrad by Ian Watt (Author) (Paperback)
Watt's own philosophy, as well as his insight into Conrad's work, was shaped by his experiences as a prisoner of war on the River Kwai.
Ian Watt (1917-1999) has long been acknowledged as one of the finest of postwar literary critics, and among the most learned of those writing about the work of Joseph Conrad.

 Myths of Modern Individualism
‘In its way this is as original a work as Watt’s famous first book, The Rise of the Novel.
Like all of Watt’s work this is a remarkable work of the historical imagination, sympathetic without being fussy, erudite but always deft, analytic but very warm and witty.
Ian Watt’s magisterial Myths of Modern Individualism is a critical account - historical, cultural, moral and aesthetic - of how four great Western myths have insinuated themselves into the actualities of modern culture.

Few contemporary artists command more respect than Ian MacKaye and Mike Watt, who are among the founding fathers of the hardcore music community and the Do-It-Yourself ethic it fostered.
Mike Watt also emerged from the '80s hardcore/punk scene -- albeit in San Pedro, California -- courtesy of his work with the Minutemen, a seminal punk band he formed with childhood friend and guitarist D. Boon.
