The Contemporary Novel
註釋The second edition expands the scope of the first by including not only British and American novels, but works by writers in English anywhere in the world, e.g. Ghana, Nigeria, West Indies, the Caribbean, India, etc. With some exceptions, citations are from journals and books representing literary scholarship rather than from book reviews. The cut-off date on material is 1982 (in the first edition it was 1968); the time lag to publication is attributed to the fact that every article was examined, and the pertinent page numbers of books and articles identified. Novelists are included if they wrote after 1945, if they wrote before 1945 but achieved their most significant recognition after 1945, or if they wrote before 1945 but continued with major publications after 1945. Arrangement is alphabetical by author name. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
