Modern Fiction: A Formalist Approach (A Chicago Classic)

By William J. Handy and Professor William J. Handy Ph.D.

Mr. Handy examines the terms and methods of the New Critics approach to poetry, and by application of this critical method to six mod­ern works demonstrates the vitality of the formalistic method in enabling the reader to achieve a new level of awareness of the author's ideas and emotions. The six works of fiction discussed are: Joyce, "The Dead"; Dreiser, Sister Carrie;Faulkner, As I Lay Dying;Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea;Malamud, The Fixer; and Bellow, Seize the Day.
