Description

Lennard Davis's groundbreaking study examines how novels function as ideological structures that both bind readers to social systems and protect against modern alienation. First published in 1987 and now revived by Routledge, this influential work moves beyond traditional thematic analysis to explore the structural mechanisms through which fiction operates. Davis argues that reading novels involves a double resistance: readers must contend with the novel's ideological power whilst simultaneously relying on its defensive structures against dehumanisation and loneliness. By investigating how fiction shapes consciousness and anchors us to ideology, this book offers essential insights into the relationship between narrative form and social reality. A foundational text for literary scholars, cultural critics, and anyone interested in understanding how novels shape perception and resist critical interrogation.

Key Features

Lennard Davis's landmark 1987 study investigates the structural relationship between ideology and fiction beyond traditional thematic approaches.

The book explores how novels function as defensive structures protecting readers against alienation whilst simultaneously binding them to ideological systems.

Routledge Revivals edition makes this influential critical work accessible to contemporary scholars of literature and cultural theory.

Davis's analysis reveals the double resistance at work in novel reading, addressing both the ideological power of fiction and its humanising function.

Essential reference for understanding how narrative structures embed and resist ideology in contemporary literary criticism.
