The English Novel: An Introduction

Summary: An in-depth examination of dramatic effect
Review: Leading literary theorist Terry Eagleton presents The English Novel: An Introduction, a scholarly examination of the artistic expression of the English novel that particularly focuses upon classic works by great authors such as Charles Dickens, George Eliot, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Thomas Hardy, and others. An in-depth examination of dramatic effect, narrative characteristics especially prevalent among English novels, ideological passions that fueled the individual authors, and much more, The English Novel is a superb introduction for beginning to intermediate college-level students of literature. Witty and inventive as well as filled with sharp observations, The English Novel is enthusiastically recommended for personal and public library literature shelves.
