It analyses a variety of individuals whose work is reflected in both theoretical literary criticism and Continental European aesthetics, including Mikhail Bakhtin, Georg Lukács, Theodor Adorno, and Walter Benjamin. Moving through material from eighteenth century and ancient Greek philosophy and aesthetics, the book provides comprehensive coverage of the major positions on the philosophy of the novel. Distinctive features include the importance of Vico's view of the epic to understanding the novel, the importance of Kierkegaard's view of the novel and irony along with his other aesthetic views, the different possibilities associated with seeing the novel as 'mimetic' and the importance of Proust in understanding the genre in all its philosophical aspects, relating the issue of the philosophical aesthetics of the novel with the issue of philosophy written as a novel and the interaction between these two alternative positions. 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aLiterary History 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 14$aAesthetics. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aLiterary History. 676 $a801 700 $aStocker$b Barry$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0932889 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300612703321 996 $aPhilosophy of the Novel$92099706 997 $aUNINA
