Description

Discover why writers have long been fascinated by writing about writers themselves. This Routledge scholarly work provides the first comprehensive examination of fictional novelists as literary characters, revealing how our understanding of literary genius and authorship is fundamentally shaped by novels featuring author-characters. The book argues that this critically underexamined genre has profoundly influenced literary culture, offering fresh perspectives on what it means to be a writer. Using both close and distant reading techniques, the author analyses a substantial corpus of author-stories spanning from 1850 to 1949, exploring the distinct forms and functions these narratives serve within Victorian and Modernist literature. This essential text bridges the gap between literary theory and historical analysis, demonstrating how fictional portrayals of novelists challenge and redefine conventional notions of creative genius across generations.
