Beschreibung:
In recent decades, literary critics have praised novel theory for abandoning its formalist roots and defining the novel as a vehicle of social discourse. The old school of novel theory has long been associated with Henry James; the new school allies itself with the Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin. In this book, the author argues that actually it was the compatibility of Bakhtin with James that prompted Anglo-American theorists to embrace Bakhtin with such enthusiasm. Far from rejecting James, in other words, recent novel theorists have only refined James's foundational recharacterization of the novel as the genre that does not simply represent identity through its content but actually instantiates it through its form.>
Introduction; 1. Henry James, Percy Lubbock and the formalist vision of the novel; 2. Vision as voice: Wayne Booth, Gerard Genette, and Roland Barthes; 3. The visible vocality of ideology: the social formalism of the Bakhtin circle; 4. Voice to Heteroglossia: Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics and 'discourse in the novel'; 5. Double vision as double voice: the social formalism of identity studies; Conclusion; Index.
