| Zusammenfassung: | Novel Politics' aims to change the current consensus of thinking about the nineteenth-century novel. This assumes that the novel is structured by bourgeois ideology and morality, so that its default position is conservative and hegemonic. Such critique comes alike from Marxists, readers of nineteenth-century liberalism, and critics making claims for the working-class novel, and systematically under-reads democratic imaginations and social questioning in novels of the period. To undo such readings means evolving a new praxis of critical writing. Rather than addressing the explicitly political and deeply limited accounts of the machinery of franchise and ballot in texts, it is important to create a poetics of the novel that opens up its radical aspects.00 |

Novel Politics aims to change the current consensus of thinking about the
nineteenth-century novel. This assumes that the novel is structured by bourgeois
ideology and morality, so that its default position is conservative and hegemonic.
Such critique comes alike from Marxists, readers of nineteenth-century liberalism,
and critics making claims for the working-class novel, and systematically under-
reads democratic imaginations and social questioning in novels of the period.
To undo such readings means evolving a new praxis of critical writing. Rather than
addressing the explicitly political and deeply limited accounts of the machinery
of franchise and ballot in texts, it is important to create a poetics of the novel
that opens up its radical aspects. This can be done partly by taking a new look
at some classic nineteenth-century political texts (Mill, De Tocqueville, Hegel),
but centrally by exploring four claims: the novel is an open Inquiry (compare
philosophical Inquiries of the Enlightenment contemporary with the novels
genesis), a lived interrogation, not a pre-formed political document; radical
thinking requires radical formal experiment, creating generic and ideological
disruption simultaneously and putting the so-called realist novel and its values
under pressure; the poetics of social and phenomenological space reveals an
analysis of the dispossessed subject, not the bildung of success or overcoming;
the presence of the aesthetic and art works in the novel is a constant source of
social questioning.
Among texts discussed, six novels of illegitimacy, from Jane Austen to Sir Walter
Scott to George Eliot and George Moore, stand out because illegitimacy, with
its challenge to social norms, is a test case for the novelist, and a growing point
of the democratic imagination.
