A campus novel, also known as an academic novel, is a novel whose main action is set in and around the campus of a university. The genre in its current form dates back to the early 1950s. The Groves of Academe by Mary McCarthy, published in 1952, is often quoted as the earliest example, although in Faculty Towers: The Academic Novel and Its Discontents, Elaine Showalter discusses C.P. Snow''s The Masters, of the previous year, and several earlier novels have an academic setting and the same characteristics, such as Willa Cather''s The Professor''s House of 1925 and Dorothy L. Sayers'' Gaudy Night of 1935 (see below). Many well-known campus novels, such as Kingsley Amis''s Lucky Jim and those of David Lodge, are comic or satirical, often counterpointing intellectual pretensions and human weaknesses. Some, however, attempt a serious treatment of universitylife; examples include C.P. Snow''s The Masters, J.M. Coetzee''s Disgrace and Philip Roth''s The Human Stain. Novels such as Evelyn Waugh''s Brideshead Revisited that focus on students rather than faculty are often considered to belong to a distinct genre, sometimes termed varsity novels.
