Asst. Prof. William N. Coker of the Cultures, Civilizations and Ideas (CCI) program has published a new study on the emergence of the Romantic-era novel in Europe in the aftermath of the French Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Published by Liverpool University Press, \u201cDialectics of the Romantic Novel: Self-Estrangement, Mediation, and Narrative Form\u201d examines how the novel helped revive dialectical thought \u2014 a way of understanding the self and society through their internal tensions and contradictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather than treating \u201cRomanticism\u201d as mere sentimentality or escapism, Dr. Coker shows how Romantic-era authors grappled with the deep anxieties of modern life. He contends that instead of presenting harmony, these writers embraced internal conflict as an enabling condition for human freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through fresh readings of classic works \u2014 including Mary Shelley\u2019s \u201cFrankenstein,\u201d Johann Wolfgang Goethe\u2019s \u201cWilhelm Meister,\u201d and the writings of Rousseau, Jean Paul and Friedrich H\u00f6lderlin \u2014 \u201cDialectics of the Romantic Novel\u201d connects 19th-century fiction to a long philosophical conversation stretching from Plato to Hegel. In doing so, it reveals how these stories continue to offer vital insights into what it means to live with contradiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
