About this book

The Classic Critique of Fiction So Good It Was Scapegoated ""No more substantial or more charming volume of criticism has been published in our time.

Lubbock's outlook in this publication is an obvious extension to that of Henry James and he works to illustrate the craft by referencing many important and classic novels including Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Henry James' The Ambassadors.
