Inventing The Novel - Bakhtin And Petronius Face To Face

by R. Bracht Branham

~~91,41€~~ 73,13€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 Inventing the Novel uses the work of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975) to explore the ancient origins of the modern novel. The analysis focuses on one of the most elusive works of classical antiquity, the Satyrica, written by Nero''s courtier, Petronius Arbiter (whose singular suicide, described by Tacitus, is as famous as his novel). Petronius was the most lauded ancient novelist of the twentieth century and the Satyricaserved as the original model for F. Scott Fitzgerald''s The Great Gatsby (1925), as well as providing the epigraph for T. S. Eliot''s The Waste Land (1922), and the basis for Fellini Satyricon (1969). Bakhtin''s work on the novel was deeply informed by his philosophical views: if, as a phenomenologist, he is a philosopher ofconsciousness, as a student of the novel, he is a philosopher of the history of consciousness, and it is the role of the novel in this history that held his attention. This volume seeks to lay out an argument in four parts that supports Bakhtin''s sweeping assertion that the Satyrica plays an "immense" role in the history of the novel, beginning in Chapter 1 with his equally striking claim that the novel originates as a new way of representing time and proceeding to the question ofpolyphony in Petronius and the ancient novel.
