| Zusammenfassung: | Contends that the twentieth century novel's approach to character fundamentally shifted in response to contemporaneous theories of psychic connectionChallenges the paradigm that individualism is innate to the novel as a mediumCharts an unmapped trajectory in the novel's development away from individualismAccessibly outlines how psychic speculation informs the conception of character in major twentieth century novelsOffers valuable tools for analysing literature without treating the individuated character as a necessary unitCriticism of the novel routinely starts with the assumption that characters must think, develop and strive for self-fulfilment as individuals. This book challenges the paradigm that individualism is innate to the novel as a medium. It describes how major writers throughout the twentieth century - many convinced by the supposed findings of parapsychology - rejected the idea of the discrete character. Treating the self as porous, they offered novels structured around the development of communities and ideas rather than individuals. By focusing on D. H. Lawrence, Olaf Stapledon, Aldous Huxley and Doris Lessing, Mark Taylor demonstrates the need to broaden our approach to character when addressing the novel of the twentieth century and beyond |
