The Novel and Authenticity

by David Holbrook

A thought-provoking work, The Novel and Authenticity examines such novels as Austen's Mansfield Park, Forster's A Passage to India, and Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning to demonstrate its thesis. The reader will come away from this book with a new perspective on the novel and on contemporary literary theorizing.
