"What makes the 20th century novel modern? What relations to modernity make fiction experimental and new? Is the postmodern novel a fiction of exhaustion or the replenishment of modernism's purpose? In this detailed and readable book, Jesse Matz offers useful answers to these questions and a guide to novels from Henry james to Zadie Smith." Elaine Showalter <!--end-->


"Jesse Matz’s The Modern Novel: A Short Introduction is an ambitious and impressive study of twentieth-century, English-language novels from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond ... This appealingly written, jargon-free overview of the modern novel will certainly change the way I think about – and teach – the field." Brian W. Shaffer, Rhodes College <!--end-->
