Exploring the intimate spaces of eighteenth-century England, the book delves into how environments like grottos, cottages, and the camera obscura shape inner experiences and contribute to the rise of interiority and the novel. Julie Park analyzes various texts, including works by Andrew Marvell and Alexander Pope, to illustrate how these settings foster emotional and psychological depth. Her concept of "spatial formalism" highlights the interplay between physical spaces and the vitality of inner lives, offering a new perspective on the evolution of the novel as a genre.
