Rezension zu „Chance and the Modern British Novel: From Henry Green to Iris Murdoch “
"Jordan's book offers a fresh and original polemic as well as a scholarly introduction to the role of chance in narrative. The topic has never been handled previously with as much awareness of the full range of philosophical issues it broaches, or with as much sensitivity to the full range of literary responses it is capable of eliciting."--Sanford Lakoff
