SynopsisCritics have been aware for years that such literary works as Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses and James Joyce's Dubliners do not fit comfortably into established genres. By proposing the name composite novel and a supportive, comprehensive theory of genre for these works, Maggie Dunn and Ann Morris break new critical ground. In tracing the development of this literary genre in the 19th and 20th centuries throughout the world, the authors offer not only a new way to understand these classics, but also a useful approach to the best contemporary fiction such as N. Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountain and Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate., Students and teachers alike will welcome the books in this series as accessible introductions to many widely studied themes and genres. Each book includes: an in-depth analyses of four to six exemplary texts; an extensive annotated list of works for further reading; a bibliographic essay; a chronology of major authors, works, and historical events of importance in the development of the theme or genre; and an overview of the evolution of the theme or genre.
