The Novel of Purpose
About this book
"The Novel of Purpose proposes a new way of understanding social reform in Great Britain and the United States. Amanda Clayburgh offers readings that connect reformist agitation to the formal features of literary works and argues for a method of transatlantic study that attends not only to nations but also to the many groups that collaborate across national boundaries."--BOOK JACKET.
