l Author, Author.  As  the  second  novel  on  James  published  in  2004,  the  book  surprised  the reviewers  as a dramatic change from  the  author’s  other  novels. Contrasting to  the light and comic style  of  his  former  works, this  book’s  slow  pace  and  mused  irony shocked frequent readers of Lodge; moreover its resemblance to biography confused some previous reviewers.  

2.1 The Study of Author,Author Abroad 
 The  early  reviewers  had  disputes  on  this  book,  especially  its  genre  and  the characterization of Henry James. Gradually, study on both the topics became more liberal  and  text-based.  Instead  of  reading  the  book  according  to  rigid  orthodox  of genre, researchers became tolerate to the hybrid nature of the work’s genre. .        The difficulty of classifying this book provoked harsh criticism ever since its publication.  Most  of  the  reviewers  discerned  the  book’s  reliance  on  historical  and biographical  facts.  Some  accepted  these  confusing  elements  as  Lodge’s  venture (Peters 2004; Thawite 2004).  Some  reviewers  read  the  book’s  affinity  to  biography  as  its  defect.  The novelistic  imagination  is  confined  by  the  need  to  provide  biographical  facts (Hollinghurst  2004;  Nial  2004).  American  critic  James  Woods  is  annoyed  by  the hybrid  nature  of  biography,  novel  and  historical  novel  in  the  book,  arguing  that Lodge’s novel is “contaminated in this way by its fusion of genres” (23). His review is  considered  by  Cushing  Strout  as  “as  hostile  as  possible”,  “overwhelmingly negative” (xxxvi). Cushing Strout, in his detailed and penetrating review, points out that  Lodge’s  work  does  not  fit  into  the  tradition  of  historical  novel  represented  by Sir  Walter  Scott,  and  Robert  Penn  Warren,  which  “put  fictional  characters  in  the foreground rather than historical persons, so that the novelist does not trespass too much on the biographer’s ground or pretend to know from the inside what it would be  like  to  inhabit  the  historical  hero’s  consciousness”  (xxxiv).  Strout  thinks  in  the work  of  Author,  Author,  there  is  a  constant  struggle  between  the  novelist  and biographer “for territory” (xxxiv).
