Description: By modeling such a heterogeneous account of the novel form, Estranging the Novel paves the way for a bracing and diverse understanding of the makeup of contemporary world literature and the many texts it encompasses--and a new perspective on the British novel as well.
Brief description: Katarzyna Bartoszyńska is an assistant professor of English and women's and gender studies at Ithaca College.
Review Quotes: The wider implication of the analysis in Estranging the Novel is that we need an account of novels which are 'anomalous or strange' that considers their strangeness on its own terms rather than how it accords with or departs from a single history of the nove...l. [Bartoszyńska] provides a compelling call for a new way of thinking about the novel's history and form, and the role of peripheral literatures within it.
