Standard Deviations: Chance and the Modern British Novel

Offering a new approach to narrative theory by arguing that chance is the unrepresentable Other of narrative, this book traces the theme of chance in George Eliot's Middlemarch, Joseph Conrad's Chance, and James Joyce's Ulysses, and relates the novelistic treatment of chance to philosophical and scientific thinking.
