Description

As its title suggests, The Contemporary Novel provides comprehensive bibliographic information for the critical literature on contemporary novels in English. In this new edition, what was already an expansive work has been updated and further enlarged to include information not only on American and British novelists but also on writers in English from around the world. Although most references are for journals and books representing literary scholarship, the authors have also included information on other resources where they felt the materials would contribute a unique or unusually interesting perspective on the work. The result is a comprehensive reference work that provides researchers with a broad perspective on each novelist and his or her body of work. Arranged for fast, easy access to information, the book lists novelists alphabetically by name, and then lists the references to each novelist's work alphabetically by author name. Complete bibliographic information is included for each citation. Unmatched in scope and depth of coverage, The Contemporary Novel is an essential addition to every literary reference collection. Review ...comprehensive...this essential humanities reference source will be used by college preparatory high school, public, and academic libraries...the authors have succeeded admirably in listing authors whose works have contributed to the literary canon...outstanding contribution to the field of literary criticism...unsurpassed in its breadth and depth of scope.
