Shadowtime - History and Representation in Hardy, Conrad and George Eliot (Paperback, Revised)

In "Shadowtime" Jim Reilly asks questions about literature's relation to the cherished principles of history: origination, historical reconstruction, possession and the very concept of Reality. Taking up Adorno's assertion about the crisis of 20th-century art and its inability to represent historical events, Reilly searches for the roots of this problem and its articulation within the works of Hardy, Conrad and George Eliot. Drawing on the theories of Benjamin, Foucault, Hegel, Lukacs and Nietzsche, the author constructs a powerful argument across the entire period of historicism's triumph and decline.
