This book explores the concept of the end of literature through the
lens of Hegel's philosophy of art. In his version of Hegel's 'end
of art' thesis, Arthur Danto claimed that contemporary art has
abandoned its distinctive sensitive and emotive features to become
increasingly reflective. Contemporary art has become a question of
philosophical reflection on itself and on the world, thus producing
an epochal change in art history. The core idea of this book is
that this thesis applies quite well to all forms of art except one,
namely literature: literature resists its 'end'. Unlike other arts,
which have experienced significant fractures in the contemporary
world, Campana proposes that literature has always known how to
renew itself in order to retain its distinguishing features, so
much so that in a way it has always come to terms with its own end.
Analysing the distinct character of literature, this book proposes
a new and original interpretation of the 'end of art' thesis,
showing how it can be used as a key conceptual framework to
understand the contemporary novel.
