Maddock-Cowart, Donna Samal. "The Word, the Flesh, and the Devil: The Professor in Sixteen Post-1950 Academic Novels," University of Georgia, March 1989. Advisor: Edward F. Krickel (12, 21, 2)
This study of sixteen post-1950 academic novels analyzes the professor as main character and posits the argument that the academic novel has become in contemporary times an important and increasingly utilized form and that the professors who are the main characters in post-1950 academic novels are heroic, in the post-modern sense of the term. This study looks at the works of Kingsley Amis, Saul Bellow, Malcolm Bradbury, John Gardner, Randall Jarrell, David Lodge, Alison Lurie, Bernard Malamud, Mary McCarthy, Vladimir Nabokov, Joyce Carol Oates, Philip Roth, May Sarton, John Williams, and Angus Wilson.
