PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
When is a book not just a book, but a work of art? Professor Guerard explains the difference between the novel as art and the novel as entertainment, maintaining that the latter "does not invade our lives as the great novels do." By citing many examples of modern literary masterworks, Guerard builds a case for the novel as a invaluable contributor to "dynamic knowledge" and the psychology of the human condition. He also describes the 2 types of great modern novelists - the perfectionist and the innovator - and explains the value of each. Guerard ends his talk with a discussion of Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent.
