About the Author:
Review:
Michael J. Hoffman is Professor of English at the University of California, Davis. Patrick D. Murphy is Professor of English at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
"That there was a perceived need to produce a third, expanded edition of this anthology of essays on the theory of fiction speaks volumes about both the user-friendliness and value of such single-volume compendia. . . . This remains a volume that reminds critics that progress is often not the latest thing in the marketplace but critical pieces that have stood the test of time."
