This historical bibliography provides an entirely new foundation for the literary history of the late eighteenth century and the Romantic age, reconstructing the full cast of British novelists of the period, their publishers and reviewers. It provides full transcriptions of titles and imprint lines, together with much other bibliographical and historical information, including contemporary reviews (with generous quotations), dedications, and pricing and printing details, as well as an introductory historical essay on the different themes embraced by the novel, profiles of popular authorship, translation, the economics and circumstances of novel production and design, and the scope of literary circulation and reception.

This bibliography provides the first complete and copy-based record of the production of new English fiction in the period 1810-1829. The main listings include 2,256 entries, all but forty of which are based on examination of a first edition of the actual novel described. As a result of ten years of Anglo-German co-operation the bibliography makes especial use of the recently discovered collection of English novels of Schloss Corvey in Germany, whose holdings in English fiction 1796-1834 almost certainly exceed those held by any other library. This book also includes an extensive historical introduction by Peter Garside that offers a comprehensive overview of the main aspects of production, marketing and reception of fiction in the Romantic era.
