  abstract  = {In spite of David Lodge's rejection of the theories labelled as poststructuralist, this thesis proves that his novels can be interpreted from a Foucauldian perspective. The concept of discourse, seen by the French philosopher as intricately linked with knowledge, power and truth, enables the distinction of four main discourses in Lodge's novels, religious, gender, ethnic and literary. The analysis reveals that in David Lodge's fiction there is a perpetual struggle for power illustrating Foucault's idea of the interdependence between power, knowledge, truth and discourses circulated by institutions.},
