"Confession and Community in the novel, first defines its terms, and then examines the nature of confessional rhetoric in the writings of St. Augustine and Jean Jacques Rousseau to develop a paradigm, he then examines three novels where the intention of the narrator creates a very different role for the reader. In the second half of his argument, Doody considers four novels in which the confessor is a character who hears the protagonist's confession and then presents it to another audience." $12.00USD
