Book Synopsis The True Story of the Novel by : Margaret Anne Doody
Book excerpt: "An erudite, intelligent and imaginative work of literary scholarship. With vivacity, grace, and wit, Doody traces the history (of the novel) from the ancient novels of Apuleium and Heliodorus through the Renaissance fictions of Boccaccio, Cervantes, and Rabelais to the 'official' birth of the novel in 18th-century England".--BOSTON GLOBE. 39 illustrations.
