The American theorists Henry James, Lionel Trilling and Wayne C.
Booth have revolutionized our understanding of narrative or
story-telling, and have each championed the novel as an art form.
Concepts from their work have become part of the fabric of novel
criticism today, influencing theorists, authors and readers
alike.
Emphasizing the crucial relationship between the work of these
three critics, Peter Rawlings explores their understanding of the
novel form, and investigates their ideas on:
� realism and representation
� authors and narration
� point of view and centers of consciousness
� readers, reading and interpretation
� moral intelligence
Rawlings demonstrates the importance of James, Trilling and Booth
for contemporary literary theory and clearly introduces critical
concepts that underlie any study of narrative. This book is
invaluable reading for anyone with an interest in American critical
theory, or the genre of the novel.
