Philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Beauvoir not only read novels and use novelistic techniques of representation in their work, but also discover a radically new way of thinking about the relation between the form of the novel and the nature of self-knowledge, freedom, and world. Drawing upon a rich archive of existentialists writing on the novel, Ong argues that for these thinkers the poetics of the novel in its classic phase - the nineteenth- and twentieth-century realist novel - discloses the conditions for thinking about the meaning of existence. Bringing together philosophy, novel theory, and intellectual history with groundbreaking readings of the novels of Tolstoy, Eliot, Austen, James, Flaubert, and Zola, this study reveals how the novel engages with philosophically rich notions of freedom, world, and the unfinished character of human life in its very form.-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Prologue: The existence of the novel in Nabokov's diagram -- Introduction: The point of view of existence -- Towards an existentialist poetics of the novel -- The character of self-consciousness: representing freedom in the novel of marriage -- Detotalized totality: situation, world, and being-in-the-novel -- The novel and the unfinished work of art -- Conclusion: The novel and philosophy. 650 0 $a Literature $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Literature $x Theory, etc. $x Theory, etc. 650 0 $a Fiction $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Existentialism. 650 0 $a Existentialism in literature. 650 7 $a Existentialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918204 650 7 $a Existentialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918209 650 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923709 650 7 $a Literature $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000005 650 7 $a Literature $x Theory, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353577 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / Movements / Existentialism. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019022154.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905041140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9534524C0F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
