Aspects of the novel
(eBook)
The renowned British novelist's "casual and wittily acute guidance" on reading—and writing—great fiction ( Harper's Magazine ). Renowned for such classics as A Room with a View , Howards End , and A Passage to India , E. M. Forster was one of Britain's—and the world's—most distinguished fiction writers, a frequent nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature. In this collection of lectures delivered at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1927, he takes a wide-ranging look at English-language novels—with specific examples from such masters as Dickens and Austen—discussing the elements they all have in common. Using a witty, informal tone and drawing on his extensive readings in French and Russian literature, Forster discusses his ideas in reference to such figures as Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Proust; explains the difference between "flat" and "round" characters and between plot and story; and ultimately provides an "admirable and delightful" education for anyone who appreciates the art of a good book ( The New York Times ).
