The novels that made the novel.
The central shelf of the Library: the novels that taught fiction how to hold a whole society in view and still follow one person through it. Drawing rooms and boarding houses, provincial towns and capital cities, and the slow discovery that a life is decided by things too small to notice at the time. Each newly set, in present-day American spelling.
