Abstract:

This chapter addresses some questions about the nature of Tudor/Elizabethan prose fiction. Despite the increasing critical attention that in recent years has been paid to this once neglected genre, some basic aspects about the nature and appearance of Tudor fiction still need to be discussed. This chapter builds on recent work in book history and reception theory to explore the way that Tudor fiction was presented to its readers, the nature of the volumes in which prose fiction appeared, and the way that authors incorporated readers into their works.
