This book explores the aesthetics of the novel from the perspective
of Continental European philosophy, presenting a theory on the
philosophical definition and importance of the novel as a literary
genre. It analyses a variety of individuals whose work is reflected
in both theoretical literary criticism and Continental European
aesthetics, including Mikhail Bakhtin, Georg Lukacs, Theodor
Adorno, and Walter Benjamin. Moving through material from
eighteenth century and ancient Greek philosophy and aesthetics, the
book provides comprehensive coverage of the major positions on the
philosophy of the novel. Distinctive features include the
importance of Vico's view of the epic to understanding the novel,
the importance of Kierkegaard's view of the novel and irony along
with his other aesthetic views, the different possibilities
associated with seeing the novel as 'mimetic' and the importance of
Proust in understanding the genre in all its philosophical aspects,
relating the issue of the philosophical aesthetics of the novel
with the issue of philosophy written as a novel and the interaction
between these two alternative positions.
