Novels and the Sociology of the Contemporary

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book substantiates two claims. The modern world is the outcome of social, cultural and spiritual processes, among which a prime role was played by theatre. A special access for studying this theatricalized world is offered by novels. The theatre effectively transformed the world, and novels effectively analyze this "theatricalized" reality.
