- realism and representation
- authors and narration
- point of view and centres of consciousness
- readers, reading and interpretation
- moral intelligence.
Rawlings demonstrates the importance of James, Trilling and Booth for contemporary literary theory and clearly introduces critical concepts that underlie any study of narrative. American Theorists of the Novel is invaluable reading for anyone with an interest in American critical theory, or the genre of the novel.
