From this standpoint she discusses and elucidates some characteristic excellences and limitations of a number of major novels and novelists, including Defoe, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, Meredith, James, Hardy, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086739071127,"sku":"9781472508393","price":15221.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472508393.webp?v=1767142989","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-appropriate-form-an-essay-on-the-novel-9781472508393","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
