| Zusammenfassung: | The novel is the most important form of Western art. It represents the totality of life; it is the flagship that literature lines up against systematic thought, against science and philosophy. Over the past two hundred years the novel has inspired more essays and reflections than any other aesthetic form, and contributed profoundly in conveying ideas of social life and patterns of behavior. Through the novel, Western literature expanded the range of its themes and possibilities, and has come to tell any story in any way; through the novel, Western literature has been able to delineate the ordinary existence of common people in a serious way, expressing the spirit of an age in which nothing matters except the single individual life. Nearly a century after the György Lukács' essay of the same name, this book offers a comprehensive interpretation of the novel as a cultural phenomenon and as a sign and symptom of the modern condition. This is a work of comparative literature covering four centuries of Western culture, but also a book about our epoch, about its values and its genealogy.... |

THE NOVEL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FORM of
Western art. It aims to represent the totality
of life; it is the flagship that literature sends
out against the systematic thought of science
and philosophy Indebted to Lukács and
Bakhtin, to Auerbach and Ian Watt, Guido
Mazzoni s Theoryr of the Noeel breaks new
ground, building a historical understanding
of how the novel became the modern book
of life: one of the best representations of our
experience of the world.
The genre arose during a long metamor-
phosis of narrative forms that took place
between i55o and 1800. Bv the nineteenth
*/
century it had come to encompass a corpus
of texts distinguished by their freedom from
traditional formal boundaries and by the
particularity of their narratives. Mazzoni ex-
plains that modern novels consist of stories
told in any way whatsoever, by narrators who
exist—like us — as contingent beings within
time and space. They therefore present an
interpretation, not a copy of the world.
Novels grant new importance to the sto-
ries of ordinary men and women and allow
readers to step into other lives and other
versions of truth. As Theory of the Noeel
makes clear, this art form narrates an epoch
and a society in which individual experienc-
es do not converge but proliferate, in which
the common world has fragmented into a
plurality of small, local worlds, each absolute
in its particularity
