A genre-defying love story that illuminates all love stories
Christina Lupton is a literature professor at the University of Warwick. Her new edition of Pride and Prejudice (Oxford University Press, 2019) contains an introductory essay about love that was the germ of Love and the Novel. Tina's writing has appeared in many publications including Avidly, n+1, Politics/Letters, the LARB and TLS.
'In this eloquent, captivating conversation between memoir and
criticism, Christina Lupton also offers a mesmerizing love song to
the experience of reading in its own right.' - David James, author
of Discrepant Solace
'Tina Lupton's eloquent account of an unexpected real-life plot
twist marries critical prowess and a gripping story, in an honest
and fantastically insightful book.' - Laura Kipnis, author of 'Love
in the Time of Contagion'
'Lupton's unsparing memoir forces us to re-examine the lives lived
on our bookshelves and in our heads.' - Leah Price, author of 'What
We Talk About When We Talk About Books'
'Such a rich exploration of love in all its forms (marital,
adulterous; for children, friends). I love how Christina Lupton
summons an iconic cast of our favourite fictional lovers ... even
as her own desires carry her far beyond many of their teachings. A
delicious combination of critical thought and passionate personal
experience.' - Tanya Shadrick, author of 'The Cure for Sleep'
'A subversive, brilliant and beautifully written book about love,
play and power in fiction and in the well-read life' - Sarah Moss
