How do literary critics distinguish between 'story' and 'plot', or between a symbol and an image - or between 'tone' and 'mood'? How do we define 'realism', 'modernism', and 'postmodernism'? What do narrative theorists mean by 'frequency' and 'distance'? In the revised, expanded and updated fourth edition of this standard introduction to the novel, these questions and many others are answered in a way that is readable and entertaining without being simplistic. Building on the huge success of previous editions, this new text for English undergraduates taking courses on the novel is much more user-friendly, with a more structured approach, chapter sumnmaries and information on study skills. It will also include a useful glossary of key terms.

Wonderful introduction to the novel...strongly recommended for 1st year English students. The book provides an excellent beginners' guide to the different 'types' of novels and is an excellent easy reference to the study of English Literature. Hawthorn uses everyday language to explain a lot of the very difficult concepts that need to be mastered by the new university student or anyone hoping to read further about the intricacies of the novel. This book is invaluable: of the many, many books I bought during my three years at University, this was the one that I was most glad I read. (Angela Simpson, Birmingham, UK on amazon.co.uk)
First published in 1985, [the third edition] continues to be a text which could usefully be recommended to all students of literature...a model of succinct explication. (The Lecturer)
An approach to studying the novel that is both erudite and easy to follow. (Teaching English)
A model of compact exposition. (The Times Educational Supplement)
