Campus Novel Variations: A Comparative Study of an Anglo-American Genre

Original language description

This monograph provides a chronological overview of the campus novel from the 1950s to the early 21st century. All of the six chapters compare two representative texts from each decade-one British and one American. The findings show that the authors of American campus novels (e.g. Nabokov, Malamud, and DeLillo) are more diverse than their British counterparts (e.g. Amis, Bradbury, and Lodge). The monograph also addresses the coexistence of the comic and the satirical within the genre. The conclusion emphasizes that although Philip Roth's The Human Stain, one of the most recent campus novels, can hardly be characterized as a comic novel, all of the texts analyzed in this volume are satirical in their effect, as they try to name and potentially reform various problematic aspects of academia.
