Synopsis

A pioneering work in literary history, this 1900 publication set up a typology for the study of the English novel, identifying the historical, romantic, novel of purpose, and the modern turn-of-the-century novel and showing how the idea of portraying the personality though fiction developed continually over some one hundred fifty years.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In every discussion of tendencies the term evolution claims a place with almost the insistence of a prescriptive right. No other term localizes the phenomena so definitely, and conveys so promptly the notion of progress in a general line of tendency. Nevertheless, I think most of us would, if we could, rather avoid the term than insist upon it in literary discussion. For the use of the word evolution seems to involve a very elaborate theory.
