by Mark Mc Gurl (Author)
Once upon a time there were good American novels and bad ones, but none was thought of as a work of art. This title tells the story of how, beginning with Henry James, this began to change. It examines the late-nineteenth century movement to elevate the status of the novel, its sources, paradoxes, and reverberations into the twentieth century.
