Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Focusing on British and American novels, Rogers takes a sociological look at the business of literature, the book industry, and the experiences of novelists and readers. Viewing the novel as a vehicle of cultural meaning, the author shows how the literary canon overlooks substantial similarities among novels in favor of restrictive codes based on social as well as literary considerations. She emphasizes the kinship between the social sciences and humanities in her analysis, by reinvigorating affection for the novel and also establishing its rich cultural significance. Review This is one of the most ambitious works in the sociology of literature that I have recently seen. It asks big questions and the author is not afraid to do the kind of intensive and extensive reading and thinking necessary to answer those questions. This is the first book I have seen that uses a phenomenological perspective to ask about novels, readers, authors, the act of reading, and the publishing industry. Gaye Tuchman, City University of New YorkNovels, Novelists, and Readers is a substantial undertaking, resting upon a data base of EnglishAmerican fiction which Rogers treats with a most keen reading eye. This literature is situated within the social history of publishing and criticism, a history which Rogers uses to support her points about the social nature of literature, the evolution of and perception of genres, and the role of the female author. She also utilized the most recent work in the sociology of culture to both illuminate her analysis and to locate the sociology of culture within the present dilemma of sociologys search for a distinctive identity. Charles R. Simpson, State University of New York, PlattsburghThe book is unusual in the detailed way in which the various classes of readers are put together with the various types of literature. It shows a superior knowledge of literature and readers and the connection between them. Arnold Foster, State University of New York, Albany About the Author Mary F. Rogers is Professor of Sociology at The University of West Florida.
