First published in 1989, this book analyses fiction and long
narrative, drawing on a broad range of writing from earlier periods
and on recent narrative theory. Gillian Beer looks at the work of
writers as diverse as Thomas Carlyle and Philip Sydney, Samuel
Richardson, and George Eliot. Three chapters on Virginia Woolf
demonstrate how Woolf's reading of past literature, philosophy, and
science gave her an intellectual and emotional purchase on problems
of feminism and modernism. Beer examines how writers create
dialogues with past writing, how readers of the present day engage
with the difference of past literature, and how we make contact
with the desires and debates of past readers.
