Theory of Literature (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and fascinating world of literature, exploring its very essence and how we can truly understand it. Challenging the notion that literature can be studied with the same methods as science, the author argues for a distinct approach that recognizes the unique qualities of artistic expression. Moving beyond simplistic definitions, the book examines the various functions of literature throughout history, from providing pleasure and instruction to offering profound insights into the human condition. It grapples with the age-old debate about the relationship between art and truth, considering whether literature can offer a unique form of knowledge and how it shapes our understanding of the world. By delving into concepts like aesthetic distance, the role of fictionality, and the power of language, this book invites us to engage with literature on a deeper level. It ultimately reveals the enduring significance of literary works, demonstrating how they offer not just entertainment but also a powerful means of exploring the complexities of human experience and the enduring questions of our existence.
