"The Foreign Language Series of Critical Survey of Long Fiction is a continuation of the eight-volume English Language Series on long fiction published in 1983...Although Critical Survey of Long Fiction is designed to offer introductory articles on the canon of 182 important individual novelists, the essays add an extra dimension by providing background reference material concerning the time, place, and circumstances under which many of the creative artists produced their works." - Preface
