| Summary | "Modern Literature: A Novel, Volume 2" by Robert Bisset is a fictional work written in the early 19th century. This novel incorporates elements of social critique and humor, particularly examining the society of Brighton and its various visitors amid the cultural landscape of the time. The opening chapters set the stage with a vivid depiction of Brighton's social life, introducing various characters including the protagonist Hamilton and his companions. At the start of the volume, the narrative describes Brighton's appeal as a coastal resort, marked by its leisurely activities like sea bathing and social gatherings at the Steyne. The characters of the Hamilton family are introduced as they navigate interactions with a range of social figures, including the self-important Mr. Scribble, who sits at the heart of comedic literary ambition and folly. The social dynamics of the visitors, with their mix of various classes, contribute to much of the humor and critique that Bisset offers, revealing both their eccentricities and serious undertones regarding societal norms and behaviors during that period. This introductory segment thus foreshadows a satirical exploration of literary pretensions and personal relationships against the backdrop of a vibrant social scene.
