Opis

The Value of the Novel offers a reappraisal of the political and literary value of the novel as a genre.

Recenzje

'… Offers a deft, timely, and persuasive argument for reexamining some of our most intuitive assumptions about the novel, including how it functions, how it has evolved, and what we can expect from it moving forward. … That Boxall's little book raises so many large questions is not, I think, a weakness but one of its many strengths. … For scholars and students interested in digging into the structural 'code' of the novel form … Boxall's volume will be indispensable.' R. John Williams, Novel
