"...Lilian Furst's book is a major contribution to the poetics of realism, and no one concerned with the study of the novel can afford to neglect--anymore than they can neglect Ian Watt's classic, 'The Rise of the Novel', to which Furst acknowledges her indebtedness. Her effort to steer a middle course through the conflicts of critical schools is admirable done and badly needed; it will remain, in my view, a landmark in the examination of the subject and an indispensable point of reference."Furst, Lilian R. is the author of 'All Is True The Claims and Strategies of Realist Fiction' with ISBN 9780822316466 and ISBN 0822316463.
