The Novelist in the Novel

Gender and Genius in Fictional Representations of Authorship, 1850-1949

Beschreibung

Why do writers so often write about writers? This book offers the first comprehensive account of the phenomenon of the fictional novelist as a character in literature, arguing that our notions of literary genius are implicitly shaped by and explicitly questioned in novels about novelists, a genre that has been critically underexamined.
