Excellent- More about Psychic Connection and the Twentieth-Century British Novel: From Telepathy to the Network Novel
The novel challenges the assumption that characters must think, develop, and strive for self-fulfillment as individuals, and instead offers novels structured around the development of communities and ideas. Mark Taylor demonstrates the need to broaden our approach to character when addressing the novel of the twentieth century and beyond.

Criticism of the novel often begins with the assumption that characters must think, develop, and strive for self-fulfillment as individuals. This book challenges the prevailing notion that individualism is inherent to the novel as a medium. It explores how prominent writers throughout the twentieth century, influenced by the purported findings of parapsychology, rejected the notion of the discrete character. Instead, they presented novels structured around the development of communities and ideas rather than individuals. By examining the works of D. H. Lawrence, Olaf Stapledon, Aldous Huxley, and Doris Lessing, Mark Taylor highlights the importance of expanding our perspective on character when discussing the novel of the twentieth century and beyond.
