This revised, expanded and updated fifth edition of this widely used introduction to the novel, defines the basic terminology of literary critics and explains the difference between terms such as "story" vs. "plot" or "symbol" vs. "image" and explores essential concepts and approaches such as what narrative theorists mean by "frequency" and "distance" and "realism", "modernism" and "postmodernism". New to this edition is a section on cyberfiction, fuller coverage of postmodernism and the novella and tips for writing essays and answering exam questions.
