This opening plenary presentation provided an overview
of a century of British literary history as reflected in
novelistic titles. Three main issues were investigated: the
dramatic shortening of titles, and its possible causes; the
structure and significance of extremely short titles; and the
ways in which titles allude to specific literary genres.
