O knihe

The first extensive study in English of Julien Gracq's work, this book
focuses on the role of history in his two major novels and his critical
essays. Carol Murphy draws on contemporary theories of allegory, textuality, and history in her analysis of the interplay of fictional and factual
history in Gracq's writings. She also shows that history's rhetorical
dimension, as presented by Gracq, puts forth the hypothesis that narratives
of history influence actual events. In addition, she uses Freudian theory to
investigate the links between Walter Benjamin's understanding of history as ruin, Gracq's sense of catastrophic history, and Andre Breton's notion of
the "emotional coefficient" of history.
