The story of the development of the novelits origin, rise, and increasing popularity as a narrative form in an everexpanding range of geographic and cultural sitesis familiar and, according to the contributors to this volume, severely limited. In a farreaching blend of comparative literature and transnational cultural studies, this collection shifts the study of the novel away from a consideration of what makes a particular narrative a novel to a consideration of how novels function and what cultural work they performfrom what novels are, to what they do.The essays in Cultural Institutions of the Novel find new ways to analyze how a genre notorious for its aesthetic unruliness has become institutionalizeddefined, legitimated, and equipped with a canon. With a particular focus on the status of novels as commodities, their mediation of national cultures, and their role in transnational exchange, these pieces range from the seventeenth century to the present and examine the forms and histories of the novel in England, Nigeria, Japan, France, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. Works by Jane Austen, Natsume Sseki, Gabriel Garca Mrquez, Buchi Emecheta, and Toni Morrison are among those explored as Cultural Institutions of the Novel investigates how theories of the novel and disputes about which narratives count as novels shape social struggles and are implicated in contests over cultural identity and authority.Contributors.
