Rezensionen
"What makes the 20th century novel modern? What relations tomodernity make fiction experimental and new? Is the postmodernnovel a fiction of exhaustion or the replenishment of modernism'spurpose? In this detailed and readable book, Jesse Matz offersuseful answers to these questions and a guide to novels from Henryjames to Zadie Smith." Elaine Showalter <!--end--> "Jesse Matz's The Modern Novel: A Short Introduction is anambitious and impressive study of twentieth-century,English-language novels from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond... This appealingly written, jargon-free overview of the modernnovel will certainly change the way I think about - and teach- the field."
