Campus Fiction as Incarnated in Selected Novels by C. P. Snow

This book gives due respect to the genre of campus fiction, focusing on selected works by C.P. Snow: The Masters, The New Men, and The Affair. Combining theoretical and practical perspectives, the study is structured into three chapters, alongside an introduction and a conclusion. The introduction establishes the research objectives, key questions, methodology, literature review, and chapter outline. Chapter one defines the English campus novel, highlighting its unique characteristics and examining its appeal; it also touches upon American and Egyptian academic novels and movies. Chapter two investigates the tensions between tradition and innovation in academia, emphasizing the interplay between scientific progress, literature and societal values. Chapter three examines the narrative techniques Snow employs to portray the nuances of academic life.The study ultimately reveals that Snow's novels transcend a mere depiction of university culture; they offer a profound examination of the human condition, confronting essential questions about morality, identity, and the quest for meaning. It also concludes that there is a lack of effective roles for students, Jews and intertextuality.
