This comparative study explores the special part played by the inn, tracing the progress of a succession of wayward heroes and narrators in five canonical texts including: Cervantes's "Don Quijote" and Fielding's "Joseph Andrews" and "Tom Jones".
In the landscape of the early modern European comic novel the inn often features as a monument to digression - the perfect setting for chance encounters with strangers who always have a story to tell. This wide-ranging comparative study explores the special part played by the inn, tracing the progress of a succession of wayward heroes and narrators in five canonical texts: Cervantes''s "Don Quijote", Scarron''s "Roman comique", Fielding''s "Joseph Andrews" and "Tom Jones", Sterne''s "Tristram Shandy" and Diderot''s "Jacques le fataliste". As this celebration of digressive fiction unfolds, a very different picture emerges of the novel''s rise and development.
