Riassunto

How do literary critics distinguish between "story" and "plot," 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 fifth 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. A new section on cyberfiction has been included and fuller coverage of Postmodernism and the novella are given, as well as extra tips for writing essays and answering exam questions. Widely acclaimed for its erudite yet accessible explanations, Studying the Novel is an invaluable guide to the essential concepts and approaches for all students of the novel.
