Description
E.M. Forster's Aspects of the Novel is a groundbreaking work of literary criticism that explores the fundamental nature of the novel form. First presented as a series of lectures at Cambridge University, this treatise rejects traditional historical approaches to literature in favour of a more imaginative and comparative analysis. In this Penguin Classics edition, edited with an introduction by Oliver Stallybrass and featuring a new preface by Frank Kermode, Forster examines the commonalities and differences between major novelists such as Proust, James, Dickens, Thackeray, Eliot, and Dostoyevsky. The result is a penetrating and engaging work of criticism that showcases Forster's unique blend of wit, wisdom, and literary insight. This edition includes the original introduction by Oliver Stallybrass, a chronology, further reading, and appendices, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of Forster's innovative approach to literary analysis.
