Morace analyzes the novels of Malcolm Bradbury and David Lodge together because they provide a dialogue of conflicting views, styles, and forms of the contemporary novel. This dialogue parallels the views of these two British novelists as critics.Beginning as realists, as novelists of manners, as writers of campus novels, Bradbury and Lodge explore the possibilities and the limitations of realistic writing. Bradbury and Lodge, however, are not only heirs of English literary tradition. Both are also literary critics with a keen interest in recent critical theories. Morace shows us how the debate between Bradbury and Lodge over the nature and purpose of fiction and criticism has found its way into their novels. The realistic conflicts between civilian and military, English and American, pre and postVatican II values gradually give way to an exploration of the semiotics behind such conflicts.Morace finds Bradburys and Lodges works far more openended than the 'doggedly indeterminate fictions' of many contemporary writers. Using Mikhail Bakhtins theory of dialogism, he identifies the ways in which language and values simultaneously compete with and support one another in their novels.This first booklength study of Bradbury or Lodge deals with all of their novels, including Changing Places, How Far Can You Go?, and Small World by Lodge, as well as Bradburys The History of Man and Rates of Exchange.
