Description

Explore the history and evolution of a vital literary form with The British Novel of Ideas: George Eliot to Zadie Smith. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work examines how the novel of ideas became under-theorised and neglected in modern literary accounts. As the aesthetic protocols of British literary modernism were established, a critical hostility toward this form took hold among key tastemakers. This book provides a necessary revaluation and critical reclamation of the genre. It offers perceptive and sensitive ways of reading novels by focusing on discursive argumentation and the clash of ideas. This text is an essential resource for understanding the development of the novel throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
