Of all the literary forms, the novel is arguably the most
discussed . . . and fretted over. From Miguel de Cervantes's Don
Quixote to the works of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest
Hemingway, and today's masters, the novel has grown with and
adapted to changing societies and technologies, mixing tradition
and innovation in every age throughout history.
Thomas C. Foster--the sage and scholar who ingeniously led
readers through the fascinating symbolic codes of great literature
in his first book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor--now
examines the grammar of the popular novel. Exploring how authors'
choices about structure--point of view, narrative voice, first
page, chapter construction, character emblems, and narrative
(dis)continuity--create meaning and a special literary language,
How to Read Novels Like a Professor shares the keys to this
language with readers who want to get more insight, more
understanding, and more pleasure from their reading.
