The True Story of the Novel Text Only eBook Margaret Anne Doody
Download As PDF : The True Story of the Novel Text Only eBook Margaret Anne Doody 
A revolutionary, entertaining and readable rewriting of the history of the novel.
This edition does not include illustrations.
Margaret Anne Doody challenges the conventional view of the novel, arguing that instead of being an English invention (that is the received wisdom taught in schools and colleges), it is an older, more cosmopolitan creation which emerged from the ancient cultures of Africa, Asia and Europe.
Novels have existed since ancient times – many major works in Greek, Latin, Chinese and Japanese are disclosed and discussed here. Their themes, techniques and styles are analysed and echoes found for modern fiction.
An important book – this is the beginning of the twenty-first century’s understanding of the history of literature.
In a book that thrills like a detective novel, Doody writes prose free of jargon; she is clear, stimulating and entertaining.

I first read this book in a library edition years ago, and recently bought it to add to my home library. Professor Doody is an inspiring scholar, but she also writes clearly, which is something sorely lacking in contemporary literary scholarship. If you think that the novel begins with Charles Dickens or even a century earlier, with Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding, you will be surprised.Product details
