The relationship between literature and culture is described here
in terms of an ecologically defined functional model of literary
texts. Fictional texts are not only sensors identifying
questionable cultural developments and hence representing an
indispensable medium for cultural criticism. In addition, they are
loci for the renewal of cultural creativity. The first part of the
book supplies the theoretical substantiation for this approach and
develops it into a fully-fledged literary ecology in the framework
of present-day tendencies. The second part demonstrates the
plausibility and sustaining power of the approach with reference to
six representative American novels from different periods.
