An introductory student guide to the novel in the twentieth century, this text gives the student a socio-historic context against which to assess the modern, post-modern and contemporary novel. This description may be from another edition of this product.
As a professor of literature, I love this little book. I've been teaching the 20th-century novel for a few years, and I've never come across something that so clearly makes the connections for both myself and my students. This amazingly compact work is comprehensive and horribly philosophical, and yet it presents the connections in a very approachable way: I would highly recommend it for both teachers and students. (Indispensible for graduate studies in English.)
