| 520 | |a An exploration of how seven of the greatest English novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries portray the essential experiences of life.

Looking beyond theories to the individual intentions of the authors and taking into consideration their lives and times, Mendelson examines the sometimes contradictory ways in which the novels portray such major passages of life as love, marriage, and parenthood.--From publisher description. | ||
