Review

“Readers of Dorothy J. Hale's The Novel: An Anthology of Criticism and Theory 1900-2000 will find the volume to be two books in one. One book is the anthology proper, which brings together essays that theorize the complex nature and history of novelistic fiction. Those essays became classroom classics in colleges and universities during the last forty years of the 20th century. The second is a virtual book of its own comprised of Hale's brilliant introductions to the theoretical essays. Elaborating each of the essays, interweaving their significance and the significance of the schools of theory from which the essays derive, Hale's meditations are a supplemental bonus to all teachers and students with a taste for ‘novel theory.’ ” Robert L. Caserio, author of Plot, Story and the Novel and The Novel in England 1900-1950: History and Theory.

Book Description

The Novel: An Anthology of Criticism and Theory 1900-2000 is a comprehensive collection of the most influential writings on the theory of the novel from the twentieth century. This volume charts the invention of novel theory as a field, its rise to prominence within literary studies, and the expansion of its influence into interdisciplinary theories of society, politics and culture. The anthology is broad in scope, featuring sections on formalism; the Chicago School; structuralism and narratology; deconstruction; psychoanalysis; Marxism; social discourse; gender; post-colonialism; and more. Headnotes to each piece help students to see connections between different schools of thought. Other aids to study include a volume introduction, a selected bibliography, an index of topics, and short author biographies. Whole essays or chapters are included wherever possible. The anthology as a whole encourages students to approach theoretical texts with confidence, applying the same skills they bring to literary texts.
