Literary Fingerprints – How novels and poetry reflected culture, society, and taboos of the 17th and 18th centuries, leading to feminist writers like Mary Brunton, Maria Edgeworth and Jane Austen; to socio-political adventure writers like Alexander Dumas and Charles Dickens; and to philosophical poet/writers such as Goethe, Hawthorne and Poe. This series examines the roots of the novel, beginning with Samuel Richardson, author of “Pamela,” and the impact of writers on history and vice-versa.
