Trained in the German philosophic tradition of Kant, Hegel, and Marx, he escaped Nazi persecution by fleeing to the Soviet Union in 1933. There he faced a new set of problems: Stalinist dogmatism about literature and literary criticism. Maneuvering between the obstacles of censorship, he wrote and published his longest work of literary criticism, \u003ci\u003eThe Historical Novel\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1937. \u003cp\u003eBeginning with the novels of Sir Walter Scott, \u003ci\u003eThe Historical Novel\u003c\/i\u003e documents the evolution of a genre that came to dominate European fiction in the years after Napoleon. The novel had reached a point at which it could be socially and politically critical as well as psychologically insightful. Luk cs devotes his final chapter to the anti-Nazi fiction of Germany and Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-210903\"\u003eGeorg Lukacs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 6.00w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803279100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803279108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorg Lukács's works include \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of the Novel\u003c\/i\u003e (1920), \u003ci\u003eThe History of Class Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e (1923), \u003ci\u003eStudies in European Realism\u003c\/i\u003e (1948), and \u003ci\u003eThe Young Hegel\u003c\/i\u003e (revised edition, 1954).
