The Price of Literature: The French Novel's Theoretical Turn
Patrick M. Bray
Examines the presence of theory in the nineteenth-century French novel. Emerging after the French Revolution, what we call literature was conceived as an art liberated from representational constraints. Patrick Bray shows how literature's freedom to represent anything has meant, paradoxically, that it cannot articulate a coherent theory of itself.
