This book contains close readings of the opening pages of 24 widely-taught fictional texts from Robinson Crusoe to The Buddha of Suburbia. Offering a wide coverage of English literature from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, Reading Fiction: Opening the Text illustrates for students a diverse range of approaches to the close reading of prose fiction. Childs' analyses amount to both an overview of modes of fiction over the last 300 years as well as a guide to the methods and techniques of close reading.
