Abstract
Angus Martin : The European novel in the isth century and bibliographical statistics. The progress of the novel in the 18th century was extremely varied in different parts of Europe : rapid and impressive in the Western countries, slower and more sparse in the East, the North and the South. An analysis of the retrospective bibliographies of the genre undertaken to date for a number of national literatures enables us to make a first attempt at a quantitative estimation of this development. A closer examination of the data available for France, England and Germany during the decade 1750-59 leads both to conclusions concerning the output of novels in these three countries and to a comparative thematic study based on the vocabulary in the titles.
