Summary

Forster's lively, informed originality and wit have made this book a classic. Avoiding the chronological approach of what he calls "pseudoscholarship," he freely examines aspects all English-language novels have in common: story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern, and rhythm. Index.
