Description
This collection of essays explores the humanist tradition in European literature from the 19th century onwards. Georg Lukacs examines the works of writers such as Balzac, Tolstoy and Stendhal, highlighting their relevance to contemporary society.
Through a sociological survey of these authors' writings, Lukacs reveals how their literary expression reflects humanist values that remain pertinent today. This study offers insights into the enduring power of 19th-century literature in shaping our understanding of human experience.
Published in 1989, this book provides a valuable analysis of the European literary tradition and its continued influence on our world.
