The Novels of Zsigmond Móricz in the Context of European Realism: A Thematic Approach
商品簡介
The Novels of Zsigmond M鏎icz in the Context of European Realism is the first English-language monograph on one of Hungary's--and Central Europe's--most important modern authors. Using a thematic approach that privileges literary characters as stand-ins for real human beings, Virginia L. Lewis investigates M鏎icz's thematization of individual agency in seven realist novels that form the foundation of the author's reputation as a major twentieth-century novelist. Lewis does an outstanding job of showcasing the research results of the many Hungarian scholars who have studied M鏎icz's narrative output over the past century, while also bringing decidedly new perspectives to the table in introducing the author to an English-speaking audience. Utilizing the theoretical impulses of scholars such as Horst and Ingrid Daemmrich, Margaret Archer, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Ibrahim Taha, among others, Lewis forges a new and productive path in M鏎icz scholarship, while also making his oeuvre accessible to a global audience. Any reader with an interest in Hungarian and Central European narrative will find this study enormously useful for the revelations it brings regarding M鏎icz's poignant and brilliant critique of the corrosive influence of commodification and greed on human agency in modern society.
***
Informed by theory and grounded in a critical understanding of Hungarian social history in the first half of the twentieth century, Lewis's engaging study of the realist novels of Zsigmond M鏎icz compels readers to think in new ways about questions of human agency amongst Hungary's lower and middle classes as this played out against the backdrop of capitalist transformation and pronounced social conflicts and injustices in the decades leading up to World War II. Skillfully structured around succinct analyses of seven of M鏎icz's key texts, Lewis's book addresses a sizable gap in the English-language scholarship on one of Hungary's greatest writers, and will be a welcome addition to the libraries of literary scholars and social and intellectual historians alike.
