Opis

A selection of key critical texts (extracts from the work of Ian Watt, Arnold Kettle, Georg Lukacs, Marilyn BUtler, Edward Said and Mikhail Bakhtin) is included to develop the reader's understanding of the issues raised, and to show the origins of current debates about the novel. The emphasis throughout is upon practice, not theory, and each chapter offers exercises in reading and studying fiction.
