(Paperback)

A translated selection from the epic five-volume "Italian Il Romanzo" (2001-2003), this title views the novel primarily from the inside, examining its many formal arrangements and recurrent thematic manifestations, and looking at the plurality of the genre and its lineages. It is suitable for all students and scholars of literature.
