John Holloway is probably best known for his work on Shakespeare
and on the Victorian and modern periods; this 1979 book represents
an extension of his interests hitherto. Though not intended as
mathematical analyses of fiction or drama, the essays here have
evolved largely by allowing broad mathematical concepts to suggest
original lines of argument in the critical analysis of narrative
structure. Among the authors to come under detailed consideration
are Boccaccio, Racine, George Eliot, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Henry
James, as well as several more recent English novelists, and the
tendency of the book as a whole is to invite application of the
critical approaches that it explores to a still wider range of
literary works. Professor Holloway also considers some fundamental
issues relating structural analysis to the concerns of the literary
critic, and he includes appendices on methods of analysing
political oratory, and on the idea of the transformation rule as an
aid to the critical discussion of poetry.
