Now the prospect has become a lot less unthinkable, and perhaps, indeed, a pressing question. Can there be a theory of the graphic novel that is commensurate with literary theory? This book answers with a resounding "yes." First coined in 1964 by an early scholar of fandom, Richard Kyle, the graphic novel now has an undisputed place in literary culture, receiving reviews in venerated journals such as the New York Review of Books. They are willing to publish comment and criticism, in recognition of a serious endeavor and field of experience. It may still be uncomfortable for graphic novels to be inserted into academic curricula, but less so for reasons that may have been when high art was far more easily separable from low. It may be because that there is still a dearth of material that offers a methodology for evaluative critical practice. This book joins the growing critical literature that have set about to address this. Using the methodology of Georg LukaÌcs and his detailed defense of literary realism as a socially embedded practice, this book examines the debates around the rise of comics and graphic novels, then moves to a series of case studies that demonstrate the importance of graphic novels as vehicles of subjective expression and social critique"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Literary theory: the relevant and the real -- Recuperating realism: LukaÌcs -- Classic novels, classic comics -- Was Wertham right? : comics as antisocial and subversive -- The Balzac of comics: Jack Kirby, world building, and the Kirbyesque -- Figurative pseudonyms: biography and confession -- Josh Bayer -- Nina Bunjevac -- Simon Hanselmann -- the Hernandez brothers -- Tommi Parrish -- Yoshihiro Tatsumi -- Conclusion: our new urizens. 650 0 $a Graphic novels $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Graphic novels $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Popular culture and literature. 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869145 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869173 650 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946656 650 7 $a Popular culture and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01743936 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Comics criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a McBurnie, Jonathan, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4290B7360CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
