A Wide-Ranging Anthology on How Novels Work

Philip Stevick assembles 53 commentaries addressing multiple dimensions of the novelist’s art, making this volume a reference-oriented map of major questions in novel theory rather than a single sustained argument. An extensive introduction and section prefaces provide an organizing framework for the selections, while the bibliography extends the book’s usefulness as a starting point for further study. Published in 1967, the collection brings together varied authorial perspectives on the form, craft, and critical study of the novel.
