Abstract
This essay explores the changing significance of gender in fiction, asking especially whether its prominence in characterization has varied from the end of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. We have reached twoconclusions, which may seem in tension with each other. The first is that gen-der divisions between characters have become less sharply marked over the last 170 years.
