This volume is an introduction to those works of Gyoergy Lukacs
that have established him as a classic authority in literary
criticism: his pre-Marxist The History of the Evolution of Modern
Drama (1911), still not available in English, which Eva Corredor
analyzes in the original Hungarian text and from which she provides
extensive quotations in English; his Kantian collection of essays,
Soul and Form (1910); his Hegelian The Theory of the Novel (1920);
and his first Marxist work, History and Class Consciousness (1923),
which best characterizes the Hungarian philosopher's problematic
position between East and West. Lukacs's Marxist theories are
studied in the texts written during his exile in Stalinist Russia
but published much later: Studies in European Realism (1950), The
Historical Novel (1955) and Realism in Our Time (1957). The
approach to Lukacs's work is both selective, in the sense that the
author chooses to introduce Lukacs's literary theories with a focus
on his views of French literature, but also global, in that she
integrates these theories in the totality of his intellectual
development. At each phase, the true motive of Lukacs's interest in
literature is revealed as a pretext to study reality. The detailed
biographical data, up-to-date critical bibliography and helpful
index contribute to the overall value of this work as a challenging
and rewarding source of information on Gyoergy Lukacs's theories of
literature.
