Rezensionen
"In addition to an extensive list of "References" and an "Index of Authors and Critics," Bode also offers a useful list of "Further Reading" materials containing titles on narratology and literary criticism in general, as well as information on literary and cultural theory. Thus, Bode's The Novel: An Introduction is a highly readable, at times quite amusing, very learned and extremely well researched study of the most important literary genre of modern times." (Anglistik, 2 September 2012)

"Christoph Bode's The Novel, which is a translation of Der Roman, is a great introduction to the study of the novel. It is comprehensive, well-written, lucid, and to the point." (Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik, 2012)

"Moreover, Bode's clarifications of concepts, jargon and theories, as well as his persuasive emphasis on the 'possibilities of the generation and construction of meaning' (p. 256), will make the reader return to this multi-layered and meaningful introduction." (European Review of History: Revue europeenne d'histoire, 6 July 2012)

"This book serves as a comprehensive introduction to the more technical aspects of the theory of the novel". (Times Higher Education Supplement, 17 March 2011)
