Synopsis:

Johns Hopkins University Press

Review:

"When the present flurry of works on theory of narrative fiction comes to an end... this seems likely to be one of the survivors."

(Frank Kermode Times Literary Supplement)

"Well-written, scholarly, perceptive... A basic framework for a rational theory of literary effects and responses based on the novel."

(Library Journal)
