NOVELISTS ON NOVELISTS
David Dowling, editor
A fascinating collection of quotations about
22
British novelists from
Defoe to Virginia Woolf. Here we learn whose novels O.H. Lawrence
described as "jam puffs without any jam," and who ca lled E.M. Forster's
works "limp and damp and milder than the breath of a cow."The crossfire
of both critical and personal comment brings to life the history of the
novel. At one extreme we find Smollett jeering at Fielding's marriage; at
the other we watch Henry James or Virginia Woolf painstakingly erecting
a theory of fiction from the study of other novelists. Through reviews,
poems, journals, diary entries, letters and eulogies, we watch the novelists
define themselves while defining those who have gone before.
"A feast to be relished in small bites or whole chapters."
