Survey of the criticism devoted to Kafka's The Castle, his final
novel. Kafka's final, unfinished novel, The Castle, remains one of
the most celebrated yet most impenetrable masterpieces of modernist
fiction, and a focus of literary criticsm and theory. In this
chronological survey of the critical attention it has attracted,
both academic and non-academic, Professor Dowden emphasises the
acts of critical imagination which have shaped our image and
understanding of Kafka and the novel. He explores the historical
and cultural milieus of criticism, from the Weimar Era of Max Brod
and Walter Benjamin to Lionel Trilling's Cold War to postmodern
multiculturalism and 'cultural studies', showing how and why The
Castle has aroused strong opinionsin each generation of criticism;
he also accounts for those moments in which the novel escapes from
an historically anchored understanding into the realm of the
universal.
