Abstract
This chapter analyzes Society fiction. Society novels are set in elegant town houses in London or Dublin and in country houses in England or Ireland. These novels often have a simple dual cast of characters: the gentry and their servants and stablehands (as well as jarveys and local peasants), and dual settings: the country house and either tenant cottages or servant quarters (lodges, stables, sculleries). A few professional figures (solicitors, doctors, men of the cloth) mildly complicate this semi-feudal picture and visitors have the lonely duty of personifying the world beyond.
