Reviews

"Demonstrating remarkable diversity, Cultural Institutions of the Novel calls for nothing short of a radical change in the basis for defining fiction from ontology to function. It provides a clear and comprehensive picture of the questions on which the next generation of scholars of the novel is setting to work." - Nancy Armstrong, Brown University "I have been provoked to fundamentals by the challenge of this book, and so will other readers." - Jonathan Arac, University of Pittsburgh
