The British novel was an important factor in the public negotiation of cultural change during the eighteenth century. In particular, explicit and implicit literary comparisons between characters on the levels of both content and narrative form played an important role by evoking, commenting on, and evaluating contemporary social practices of comparison. Thus, the novel did not merely document social change, but creatively explored aspects and criteria of comparison within British society – an exploration that fed back into social discourse. The project is investigating this intersection of literary and social practices of comparison against the backdrop of historical processes of modernization in the 18th century.

英国小说在18世纪文化变革的公开谈判中是一个重要因素。尤其是人物之间在内容和叙事形式两个层面上的显性和隐性文学比较，通过唤起、评论和评价当代社会的比较实践发挥了重要作用。因此，这部小说不仅记录了社会变化，而且创造性地探索了英国社会中比较的方面和标准——这种探索反馈到社会话语中。该项目是在18世纪现代化历史进程的背景下研究文学和社会实践的比较。
