Abstracts: | Whats the use of stories that arent even true? Can there be true lies? What is the truth of fiction? Answers to these questions will be discussed in this lecture course: From its inception at the turn from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century, the modern novel has fulfilled various functions ranging from entertainment to edification and education, from constructing bourgeois subjectivity to deconstructing it, from confirming the social order to satirizing it or posing imagined extensions and alternatives, all the while drawing on an ever-expanding range of narrative and literary techniques not delimited by strict genre rules. The lecture course will try to map the emergence and evolution of the modern novel in English systematically by conceiving of it as a medium of world observation and making sense under specifically modern cultural conditions. The historical survey of the history of the novel emerging from this approach will be supplemented by a series of case studies of particularly interesting examples. |
