Description
Book SynopsisAn engaging, critical study of Hugh Hood's ambitious twelve-volume novel-series.
Trade Review"It was a pleasure to read Keith's elegant book. The New Age/Le nouveau siecle is so complex and highly individuated a literary work that it does require the accessible introduction that Professor Keith is able and willing to provide. I doubt there's anyone else who has read the series as closely or can bring to it the breadth of background and depth of insight he offers." T.F. Rigelhof, Reflections Program, Dawson College ----- "There is very little written on the series and it is a huge undertaking by a novelist who has been rather undervalued in our country. Hood was put aside as a poseur for comparing himself to Proust and Joyce, and Keith's study goes a long way toward vindicating Hood's claims and pointing out in detail just how the comparisons can be justified. This is a significant contribution to research." John Orange, Modern Languages, King's College, University of Western Ontario
