August 15th 2005 | ISBN: 9042018860 | 750 pages
Author: Gerhard Hoffmann
In this comprehensive and systematic study, Hoffman discusses the postmodern American novel in its historical, cultural and aesthetic context between 1960 and 1980. His overview of the various definitions of postmodernism, philosophy, cultural theory and aesthetics provides the framework for his inquiry into more specific questions, such as the relationship between aesthetics and ethics; the transformation of the artistic tradition; the interdependence between modernism and postmodernism; and the change in the aesthetics of fiction. He also addresses situationalism, montage, the ordinary and the fantastic, the subject and the character, the imagination, and the future of postmodern strategies in the works of postmodern novelists and their successors. Hoffman has been writing about postmodernism since 1978 and is the author and editor of several works on that subject. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
