Beschreibung

orig.wrappers Some rubbing. Good. 24x15cm, xxii,359 pp., Series: Acta Humaniora, Nr. 34. "The study presents a functionalistic theory of the novel, modelled on the poetics of Aristotle, seeing the novel as having a certain epistemological function based in fundamental human needs, It is argued that the novel has the specific function of being a 'theory' in the original sense of giving a 'view' of things that can not be studied scholarly, namely, of how a personality may undergo a Bildung through integrating the forces of agency / mastery and communion / love that are present within itself and in society" - rear cover.
