Theatrical Failure and the Novel
David Kurnick

Book Description | Table of Contents
Introduction [in PDF format]

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"This book radiates an exciting and often inspiring critical intelligence. Kurnick demonstrates--in surprising, original, and thought-provoking detail--how the lapsed enterprise of playwriting rests at the uncanny center of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century novel. In the antagonistic and intimate relationship between the novel and public theater, Kurnick's book gives us an unexpected way to reconsider the novel's troubled, restless negotiations with its own generic identity."--Alex Woloch, Stanford University
