Self-reflection is fundamental for human thinking on many levels.
Philosophy has described the mind's capacity to observe itself as a
core element of human existence. Political and social sciences have
shown how modern democracies depend on society's ability to
critically reflect on their own values and practices. And
literature of all ages has proven self-reflexivity to be a crucial
trait of cultural production. This volume provides the first
diachronic panorama of genres, forms, and functions of literary
self-reflection and their connections with social, political and
philosophical discourses from the 17th century to the present. Far
beyond the usual focus on postmodernist opacity, these
contributions present a rich tradition of critical transparency:
Literary texts that show us what is behind and beyond them.
