title: Essentials of the Theory of Fiction
author: Michael J. Hoffman
description: "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." <br />--"Forum for Modern Language Studies"
