Conclusion: "A World Without a Lullaby"?. 330 $aSleep and the Novel is a study of representations of the sleeping body in fiction from 1800 to the present day which traces the ways in which novelists have engaged with this universal, indispensable -- but seemingly nondescript -- region of human experience. Covering the narrativization of sleep in Austen, the politicization of sleep in Dickens, the queering of sleep in Goncharov, the aestheticization of sleep in Proust, and the medicalization of sleep in contemporary fiction, it examines the ways in which novelists envision the figure of the sleeper, the meanings they discover in human sleep, and the values they attach to it. It argues that literary fiction harbours, on its margins, a "sleeping partner", one that we can nickname the Schlafroman or "sleep-novel", whose quiet absorption in the wordlessness and passivity of human slumber subtly complicates the imperatives of self-awareness and purposive action that traditionally govern the novel. . 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aFiction 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aFiction. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 676 $a809.93353 700 $aGreaney$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01000332 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300016203321 996 $aSleep and the Novel$92296030 997 $aUNINA
