Description

Language of Fiction was the first book of criticism by the renowned novelist and critic David Lodge. His uniquely informed perspective - he was already the author of three successful novels at the time of its first publication in 1966 - and lucid exposition meant that the work proved a landmark of literary criticism, not least because it succeeded in communicating a radically new vision of English literature to a readership that reached well beyond the bounds of the academy. Now reissued with a new foreword, this major work from the pen of one of England's finest living writers is essential reading for all those who care about the creation and appreciation of literature. Review 'Perhaps because he is a good novelist himself, Mr Lodge's subjection of various writers to detailed linguistic analysis is illuminating and exciting.' - Daily Telegraph 'Perhaps because he is a good novelist himself, Mr Lodge's sujection of various writers to detailed linguistic analysis is illuminating and exciting.' - Daily Telegraph'Something of a milestone in English criticism ... an important addition to English critical writing about the genre of the novel' - Tony Tanner, The Modern Language Review'... in many ways the most interesting of recent books on the novel, knowledgeable and closely argued.' - William Righter, The Listener'readable, sensitive, perceptive' - Robert Scholes, Contemporary Literature About the Author David Lodge (1935-). Novelist and critic, whose many publications include Small World and Nice Work, both shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction.
