Ideology and Fiction

Produktbeschreibung

While discussions surrounding ideology in novels traditionally concentrate on thematics, in this study - first published in 1987 - Davis approaches the subject through such structural features as location, character, dialogue and plot. Drawing on a wide range of novels from the seventeenth century to the present day, and on psychoanalysis as well as philosophy. This controversial critique will engage students and academics with a particular interest in literary theory.
