On Histories And Stories
ISBN: 9780099283836 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As novelists become increasingly interested in history as fiction and fiction as history, this study is designed to redraw the map of the boundaries of modern fiction. In her opening essays - Fathers, Forefathers and Ancestors - the author considers the renaissance of the historical novel.

These afford new readings of writers from Elizabeth Bowen and Henry Green to Anthony Burgess,...
