ÔJaniform NovelsÕ and other Literary Essays
'Janiform Novels' and Other Literary Essays gathers 25 essays by Cedric Watts, MA, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English at Sussex University. Previously published in a diversity of magazines and books, these conveniently-gathered literary discussions deal with such authors as Sophocles, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Donne, Marvell, Milton, Defoe, Richardson, Jane Austen, Emily Bronte, Conrad, Hemingway, Graham Greene, William Golding, Samuel Beckett and Chinua Achebe.
