Opis

This book is an account of the ways the promise and threat of political revolution has informed historical novels from Walter Scott to the near present. Building upon of the Marxist scholarly tradition of Georg Lukacs and Frederic Jameson, this book emphasizes the transformation of literary conventions to adapt to changing historical contexts.
