Abstract

This dissertation aims to present a reading of the essay A theory of the novel, by Georg Lukács, paying special attention to the link between the novel form and modernity formulated by the author. To this end, the moments of dialogue that Lukács work establishes with the theory of the novel of Friedrich Schlegel were retraced. It is not an attempt to track influences that may be present in the essay, but to show how The theory of the novel can be reconstructed from the critiques of the romantic theory of the novel. We intend to point out how the investigation of the novel form, the form that like no other expresses the transcendental homelessness, consists for Lukács in a gateway to and critique of the experience of alienation that takes place in the modern world.
