First published in 1969, this book asserts that two concepts,
structure and praxis, make it impractical for scholars to ignore
the necessity of a theory of the novel - with the term 'classical
novel' used to cover western fiction. The author argues that the
novel is fundamentally an 'enterprise' - an aspect of the praxis of
a particular social class - and that the ways of orthodox
scholarship are also a praxis. The investigator must enquire into
the nature of their questions as those traditionally put to
literature are inspired by 'irrelevant' nineteenth century
positivism. In the author's view the book is necessarily a theory
of the classical novel and a manifesto for the student movement.
