Lubbock¿s book is not just an argument about fiction, but for fiction¿an attempt to provide a rationale for the novel as a high art form. Lubbock¿s book didn¿t just influence critics; it was also a spur to contemporary novelists. Virginia Woolf vacillated between echoing and condemning his ideas. Woolf¿s lengthiest engagement with Lubbock was her 1922 essay ¿On Re-reading Novels,¿ which primarily praises and extends Lubbock¿s argument.This, like E. M.
