Publisher Description
Inventing the Novel uses the work of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin to explore the ancient origins of the modern novel, focusing on one of classical antiquity's most elusive works, Petronius' Satyrica, and arguing in support of Bakhtin's sweeping claim that it plays an "immense" role in the history of the novel.
