Late Europeans and Melancholy Fiction at the Turn of the Millennium: Palgrave Studies in Modern European Literature
Autor Ian Ellisonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 apr 2023
This book is the first comparative study of novels by Patrick Modiano, W. G. Sebald, and Antonio Muñoz Molina. Drawing on many literary figures, movements, and traditions, from the Spanish Golden Age, to German Romanticism, to French philosophy, via Jewish modernist literature, Ian Ellison offers a fresh perspective on European fiction published around the turn of the millennium. Reflecting on what makes European fiction European, this book examines how certain novels understand themselves to be culturally and historically late, expressing a melancholy awareness of how the past and present are irreconcilable. Within this framework, however, it considers how backwards-facing, tradition-oriented self-consciousness, burdened by a sense of exhaustion in European culture and the violence of its past, may yet suggest the potential for re-enchantment in the face of obsolescence.

Recenzii
“The aims of this book invite sympathy. … its method is empirical, starting from ‘novels, not theories about them’, and the author disclaims any ‘absolutist theoretical universalism’. His study is ‘Eurocentred’ but not ‘Eurocentric’, a distinction that deserves to be widely adopted. … here Ellison offers his original contribution … . He has succeeded in saying something fresh about Se-bald, no easy achievement, and has offered a general argument which others may fruitfully extend.” (Ritchie Robertson, Modern Language Review, Vol. 118 (3), July, 2023)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
“In an account informed by Benjamin and Nietzsche, Ian Ellison explores the melancholy of late modernist fictions by Patrick Modiano, W. G. Sebald and Antonio Muñoz Molina. These epigonal fictions cross the threshold between fiction and history and are gathered here as works of detection which emphasize the pathos of their own epistemological failure. Although Ellison acknowledges that these novels communicate the exhaustion of European culture and the irreconcilable violence of its past, notably against its Jews, he proposes that a rejuvenation of the future is still possible. This book is a fresh and adeptly theorised work by an emerging scholar in comparative literary studies.”
