More about the book
Discusses author and literary theorist David Lodge as a major figure in contemporary British and American letters. In this first book-length study of both Lodges fiction and non-fiction works, Bruce K. Martin examines what exactly the terms that are usually applied to Lodges fiction--such as literary novels and social comedies|--really mean and how well they actually describe the work. He explores the characteristic concerns, techniques, and strategies that mark Lodges writing, relates his novels to other recent fiction, and looks for connections between Lodges work and that of earlier works by other authors who may have influenced him.|PIM|31-MAY-18|01
