European novel. Written in Daniel R. Schwarz's precise and highly
readable style, this critical study offers compelling discussions
on a wide range of major works since 1900 and examines recurring
themes within the context of significant historical events,
including both World Wars and the Holocaust. The author cites
important developments in the evolution of the modern novel and
explores how these paradigmatic works of fiction reflect
intellectual and cultural history, including developments in
painting and cinema. Schwarz focuses on narrative complexity,
thematic subtlety, and formal originality as well as how novels
render historical events and cultural developments Discussing major
works by Proust, Camus, Mann, Kafka, Grass, di Lampedusa, Bassani,
Kertesz, Pamuk, Kundera, Saramago, Muller and Ferrante, Schwarz
explores how these often experimental masterworks pay homage to the
their major predecessors--discussed in Schwarz's ground-breaking

departures from realism in their approach to time and space, their
testing the limits of language, and their innovative ways of
rendering the human psyche. Written for teachers and students by a
highly-acclaimed scholar and including valuable study questions,
Reading the Modern European Novel since 1900 offers a guide for a
deeper understanding of how these original modern masters respond
to both the past and present.
