European realism through a humanist lens

Georg Lukacs’s essays connect nineteenth-century European literature with a broader account of humanism, tracing a tradition that includes Balzac, Tolstoy, Stendhal and Zola. The collection approaches these writers not only as literary figures but as part of a tradition Lukacs links to social change. Its central concern is the continuing relevance he assigns to major works of the period and the humanist ideas they express.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in literary criticism and European realism.
  • Those exploring humanist interpretations of nineteenth-century writers.
  • Readers studying the relationship between literature and social change.

Book overview

These essays celebrate the humanist tradition of European literature that runs from Balzac, through Tolstoy and Stendhal, to Zola and beyond. Lukacs sees this tradition as the expression of humanism. Seen in this light, the great works of nineteenth-century literature have an immediate and overwhelming relevance to our need today to change society.
