The American theorists Henry James, Lionel Trilling, and Wayne C.
Booth have revolutionized our understanding of narrative or story-
telling, and have each championed the novel as an art form. Concepts
from their work have become part of the fabric of novel criticism
today, influencing theorists, authors, and readers alike.
Emphasizing the crucial relationship between the work of these
three critics, Peter Rawlings explores their understanding of the novel
form, and investigates their ideas on:

Rawlings demonstrates the importance of James, Trilling, and Booth
for contemporary literary theory and clearly introduces critical
concepts that underlie any study of narrative. This book is invaluable

genre of the novel.
