| Résumé : | On publication, The History of Jack Connor (London and Dublin, 1752) was acclaimed as a "truly moral tale" and one that sought to expose English prejudice against Ireland. Its Irish Huguenot author, William Chaigneau, substantially revised the second edition (1753), to clarify the work's moral and social purpose. A fourth "corrected and improved" edition (Dublin, 1766) sought to make the novel "still more useful" by aligning it with the politer fictions of the 1760s |
