Consciousness and the Novel - Softcover
'Literature is a record of human consciousness, the richest and most comprehensive we have.'
This collection of literary criticism and essays is based on David Lodge's 2002 Ellman Lecture series in America, the major theme of which was the different ways in which scientists and novelists illuminate the problem of human consciousness.
Examining the work of Philip Roth, Evelyn Waugh, E.M. Forster, Henry James, Kingsley and Martin Amis among others, Lodge sets out to discover what it is the writer might tell us about consciousness that the scientist might miss.

Review:
Citing the works of writers ranging from Jane Austen to John Updike, and Virginia Woolf to Philip Roth, Lodge examines how the novel represents consciousness; how such representation has changed through time; how the novelist's consciousness and unconsciousness function creatively; and what, if any, is the role of the critic's formal analysis in the process...One reason Lodge's creative and critical works are such joys to read is their sense of play...If you like being in smart company, get to know David Lodge.--Robert Flanagan"Columbus Dispatch" (02/16/2003)
From the Publisher:
