The English Fable: Aesop and Literary Culture, 1651–1740 - Cambridge Studies in Eighteenth-Century English Literature and Thought
Lewis, Jayne Elizabeth (University of California, Los Angeles)
Between 1651 and 1740 there was in England an explosion of interest in Aesop's fables, and in the fable as a literary form. Jayne Elizabeth Lewis shows how the fable, often underestimated because of its links with popular non-literary forms, played a major role in the formation of modern English culture.
