This concise yet comprehensive study explores innovative practice
in the novel and, from the perspective of creative writing, the
astonishing resilience of the novel form. It offers a practical
guide to the many possibilities available to the writer of the
novel, with each chapter offering exercises to encourage innovation
and to expand the creative writer's narrative skills. Beginning
with early iterations of the novel in the 17th century, this book
follows the evocation of innovation in the novel through Realism,
Modernism, Postmodernism and into today's dizzying array of digital
and interactive possibilities. While guiding the reader through the
possibilities available (in both genre and literary fiction), this
book encourages both aspiring and established writers to produce
novels with imagination, playfulness and gravitas. Dynamic and
interactive, this text is distinctive in offering a grounding in
the literary history of the novel, while also equipping readers to
write in the form themselves. It is an essential resource for any
student of creative writing, or anyone with an interest in writing
their own novel.
