Literary theory

Hardcover. The 700-year history of the novel in English defies straightforward telling. Encompassing a range of genres, it is geographically and culturally boundless and influenced by great novelists working in other languages. Michael Schmidt, choosing as his travel companions not critics or theorists but other novelists, does full justice to its complexity. Num Pages: 1180 pages. BIC Classification: DSA; DSK. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 172 x 257 x 56. Weight in Grams: 1874.
