He also challenges the view that literature of the period can be interpreted as a neat procession from realism to Modernism.  \nThe English Novel in History 1895–1920 is a stunning and thoughtprovoking study, and one that will redefine our understanding of literary Modernism. It will rapidly establish itself as the most comprehensive introduction to the subject and will be essential reading for all students of modern English literature.  \nDavid Trotter is Quain Professor of English Language and Literature at University College London.  \nTHE NOVEL IN HISTORY Edited by Gillian Beer Girton College, Cambridge  \nInformed by recent narrative theory, each volume in this series will provide an authoritative yet lively and energetic account of the English novel in context. Looking at the whole spectrum of fiction, at elite, popular and mass-market genres, the series will consider the ways in which fiction not only reflects, but also helps shape contemporary opinion. Incisive and interdisciplinary, the series as a whole will radically challenge the development model of English literature, and enable each period—from the eighteenth century to the present day—tobe assessed on its own terms.  \nTHE ENGLISH NOVEL IN HISTORY 1895–1920  \nDavid Trotter  \nLondon and New York  \nFront cover illustration (paperback): ‘The Lord of the Dynamos’ by Alvin  \nLangdon  \nCoburn, from H.G.Wells’s The Door in the Wall (1911), courtesy of the International Museum of Photography, George Eastman House.  \nFirst published 1993  \nby Routledge  \n11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE  \nSimultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005.“To purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s collection of thousands [of eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk](of eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk).”  \n© 1993 David Trotter  \nAll rights reserved.
