The rise and popular awareness of the science of probability in the
eighteenth century was accompanied by an equally great interest in the
anti-probable: lotteries,
tarot
readings, and gambling. In this original
study, Jesse Molesworth analyzes the relationship between realism,
probability, and chance in eighteenth-century fiction. In a variety of
readings, both literary and cultural, he investigates works by Daniel
Defoe, Henry Fielding, and Laurence Sterne, in the context of the rise
of lottery addiction, Hoyle s whist, and
tarot
cartomancy. Both a
reassessment of the early development of the novel and a contribution
to recent work on realism and fiction, this book suggests connections
between narrative and mathematics that reveal a darker, more trans-
gressive side to the novel. Rather than a rational expression of
Enlightenment truths, the novel reaches out to older, more super¬
stitious views as it tries to combine the attractions of chance with the
consolations of reason.
