Story and History: Narrative Authority and Social Identity in the Eighteenth-Century French and English Novel - Rilegato
Sinossi
This book aims to be a comprehensive and demanding critique of 18th-century English and French fiction. Rereading works from this period, William Ray offers a systematic exploration of how individual instances of the literary ordering of experience relate to larger public and political orders of authority. He argues that the novel's rise coincided with a growing conviction, both reflected and fostered in the period, that selfhood, social identity, public authority and even historical truth all hinge on narrative representation. From the early novels of individualism which emphasize the relating of personal experience as a means of altering social hierarchies and securing priviledges for the exceptional individual to the later "metanovels", whose complex dialectical models of history both invite and exclude the manipulation of the shared record, this book traces not only the relationship of individual story to collective history, but also fiction's evolving grasp of its own cultural authority.

Condizione: Gut. VIII, 362 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht bestoßen und Seiten minimal gebräunt, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Pages minimally browned, slightly scuffed otherwise perfect condition - A comprehensive, ambitious, and demanding critique of eighteenthcentury English and French fiction, Story and History rereads the major works of the period as components in a systematic exploration of how the ordering of experience by individuals might relate to larger orders of authority. Interpreting the evolving thematic pattern of fiction in both countries as a plot in its own right, William Ray argues that the novel's rise in the eighteenth century coincided with a growing conviction - which the genre both reflected and fostered -that selfhood, social identity, public authority, and ultimately even historical truth and cultural values, all hinge on narrative representation. -- From the early novels of individualism, which emphasize the relating of personal experience as a means of altering social hierarchies and securing privileges for the exceptional individual, to the later metanovels, whose complex dialectical models of history both invite and exclude manipulation of the shared record, Story and History traces not only the relationship of individual story to collective history, but also fiction's evolving grasp of its own cultural authority'. -- Presented as an evolving story whose episodes are furnished by the successive works it treats, the study seeks its model of the eighteenth century's understanding of narration and social reality within the stories of narrative manipulation contained in the most influential fiction of the period. Novels examined include: La Princesse de Clèves, Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders, Roxana, La Vie de Marianne, Le paysan parvenu, Manon Lescaut, Pamela, Clarissa, Joseph Andrews, Tom Jones, Julie, ou la nouvelle Héloïse, Tristram Shandy, Jacques le fataliste, and Les Liaisons dangereuses.
