Eleven Essays on the European Novel

New Criticism was a movement that deeply influenced 20th century literary criticism. American poet and critic Richard P. Blackmur, one of the most important representatives of this movement, focuses on the works that constitute the cornerstones of the European novel with critical depth and attention in Eleven Essays on the European Novel.

After analyzing panoramic novels ranging from Tolstoy's Anna Karenina to Joyce's Ulysses, from Flaubert's Madame Bovary to Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus and The Magic Mountain, Dostoevsky's basic works are about order and disorder, truth and reality. Blackmur, who deals with the themes of parody, crime and innocence, saint and criminal, examines the way human experience is represented in the European novel with a strong critical perspective: “Perhaps because of this anger, Dostoyevsky was perceived as Russia's St. Paul. The tone of both St. Paul and Dostoyevsky is full of anger; Both of them thought that insight was essential on the path to salvation and this
They expressed their thoughts in a harsh and fanatic tone.”
