Novelsit David Lodge for students and professors at Academia is particulalry appealing. His fiction is among the very best in the literary postmodernity. His criticism broadens the understanding of his discoursive gift. Limited for space he manages both in Twentieth Century Literary Criticism and the - sequel Modern Criticism and Theory, to give a complete unprejudiced picture of the scene of literary theory. These are Readers where he has selected and compiled the most representative texts, a task requiring strong commitment and sound knowledge of the work of hundreds of authors. Yet he finds more space, in the brilliant introductions, in the footnotes, in the bibliography to complete the picture of all schools and trends. Both Readers may be a good start for novices but at the same time they are a must for distinguished scholars as well. And if someone is still looking for the novelist, he is there, adding personal touches of comprehension or lack of it to the difficult texts. Once one starts with Twentieth Century Literary Criticism one will follow up with Modern Criticism and Theory, very much as one cannot but accomplish a complete tour of his wonderful fiction.
