This revised and updated edition contains 225 new entries, most of them new novels published since 1981. The annotations provide information about the novels' plots, settings, and central characters, as well as brief author biographies. The bibliography is divided into two sections: student-centered and staff-centered novels, both cited in chronological order by publication year. Included is a "starter list" of fifty American college novels to aid readers in distinguishing classics within the genre, as well as indexes by author, title, college and university, and academic discipline." "Intended for scholars as well as laypersons, this is a useful reference for studying the portrayal of American higher education in popular fiction, as well as helping casual readers locate a pleasurable read."--BOOK JACKET.
