Reviews
Important and original...The Modes of Modern Writing is an outstanding book. * Times Higher Education *
David Lodge is one of the ablest critics and theorists of the novel at work in England...[His] book is a very good one. It is bold and ambitious but always lucid and explicit, and it returns again and again to specific texts by way of both illustrating and testing its assertions. * The Yale Review *
[A] bold, incisive essay which, with admirable lucidity, offers its readers a brilliantly honed and deftly applied analytic tool. * The Times Literary Supplement *
[G]ripping in its pursuit of what literature is and how one recognizes it. * English Review *
