Analyzing how the bourgeoisie created themselves as the heroes of the literature of the 18th and 19th centuries, this is a systematic study of bourgeois literature which clearly shows the integral relationship between a social class and the ideals projected in its literary works. The idea of the bourgeois as hero is pursued through a reading of some of the major texts of classical German literature. The author focuses on opposing literary forms: epic and novel in Jean Paul's "Titan"; poetry and prose in Goethe's "Brautigam"; tragedy and comedy in Lessing's "Minna von Barnhelm". Shlaffer links these forms to the bourgeois preoccupations with love, work, honour and money to show how class origins underpin and subvert the idealistic literary ambitions of the bourgeoisie.

^BAVAILABLE FOR FIRST TIME IN U.S. ^RThis work is a highly original analysis of how the bourgeoisie created themselves as the heroes of the literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is a systematic study of bourgeois literature which clearly shows the integral relationship between a social class and the ideals projected in its literary works. The idea of the bourgeois as hero is pursued through a brilliant reading of the major texts of classical German literature. The author focuses on opposing literary forms: epic and novel in Jean Paul's Titan; poetry and prose in Goethe's Bridegroom; tragedy and comedy in Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm. Schlaffer links these forms to bourgeois preoccupations with love, work, honour and money to show how the interests of the bourgeoisie as a class underpin and subvert its idealistic literary aspirations. This challenging new analysis demonstrates how literature can be used to interpret social structure, and also how the influence of social structure can generate deviation and ambivalence in literary themes and forms. In The Bourgeois as Hero, Schlaffer has produced a major new synthesis of sociology and literary theory in a manner similar to Luk·cs. It will be of great importance for students and academics, in modern languages and literature, literary theory, sociology and cultural studies. Contents: Introduction; 1 Epic and Novel.

Dr. Behr has an engaging and lively mode of dealing with her chosen subject, one which is in itself an attractive and original one, moving as it does beyond the conventional stereotypes of the Gothic to reach a number of convincing reassessments of both gender and genre in this context. The examination of the various aspects of male identity is insightful and controlled and, Dr. Behr's facility for the apposite and pithy phrase cuts to the heart of the discussion, facilitating the flow of her ideas.

Who – and what – are the Bourgeois? “The bourgeois ... Not so long ago, this notion seemed indispensable to social analysis; these days, one might go years without hearing it mentioned. Capitalism is more powerful than ever, but its human embodiment seems to have vanished. ‘I am a member of the bourgeois class, feel myself to be such, and have been brought up on its opinions and ideals,’ wrote Max Weber, in 1895. Who could repeat these words today? Bourgeois ‘opinions and ideals’—what are they?” Thus begins Franco Moretti’s study of the bourgeois in modern European literature—a major new analysis of the once-dominant culture and its literary decline and fall. Moretti’s gallery of individual portraits is entwined with the analysis of specific keywords—“useful” and “earnest,” “efficiency,” “influence,” “comfort,” “roba”—and of the formal mutations of the medium of prose. From the “working master” of the opening chapter, through the seriousness of nineteenth-century novels, the conservative hegemony of Victorian Britain, the “national malformations” of the Southern and Eastern periphery, and the radical self-critique of Ibsen’s twelve-play cycle, the book charts the vicissitudes of bourgeois culture, exploring the causes for its historical weakness, and for its current irrelevance.
