The Appropriate Form: An Essay On The Novel (Bloomsbury Academic Collections: English Literary Criticism)

In this substantial essay on the novel (first published in 1964) Barbara Hardy distinguishes three integral aspects of the art of fiction ?story, the working-out of a moral problem, and "truthfulness", defined as "the lively representation of reality". From this standpoint she discusses and elucidates some characteristic excellences and limitations of a number of major novels and novelists, including Defoe, Charlotte Bront? George Eliot, Meredith, James, Hardy, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence. 9781472508393 1472508394 0 Literary Criticism NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=gBWknQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
