About the Book

This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print. Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.

About the Author :
Brian Stonehill (1953-1997) was Professor of English and founder of the media studies program at Pomona College. He served as a senior fiction judge for the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes from 1992 through 1994.

Review :
"A wonderfully penetrating examination"--Saul Bellow "Stonehill's book is for readers who read and like fiction, even for writers who like fiction, all of whom, if they like good criticism, might well start with The Self-Conscious Novel--literate, informed, and respectful of all readers."--Wright Morris "This book . . will be welcomed by students seeking to impose some order and definition on the increasingly impenetrable output of the postmodernists now flowing into the literary marketplace. With its sensible analysis and its ordered categories of the characteristics of 'self-conscious' fiction, it provides a guide of sorts through the jungle. . . . The book, in its range and conception, is extremely useful to students of the novel."--Modern Fiction Studies
