The Oxford history of the novel in english: volume 4: the reinvention of the british and irish novel 1880-1940

Volume 4 of The Oxford History of the Novel in English traces the dramatic changes in British and Irish fiction from the long novels of the 1880s to the 'paperback revolution' of the 1930s. It explores both the process of modernist experimentation and the work of novelists who registered the social and cultural impact of modernity.
