About Travels of a Genre

If the modern Western novel is linked to the rise of a literate bourgeoisie with particular social values and narrative expectations to what extent can that history of the novel be anticipated in non Western contexts In this bold insightful work Mary Layoun investigates the development of literary practice in the Greek Arabic and Japanese cultures which initially considered the novel a foreign genre a cultural accoutrement of Western influence Offering a textual and contextual analysis of six novels representing early twentieth century and contemporary literary fiction in these cultures Layoun illuminates the networks of power in which genre migration and its interpretations have been implicated She also examines the social and cultural practice of constructing and maintaining narratives not only within books but outside of them as well In each of the three cultural traditions the literary debates surrounding the adoption and adaption of the modern novel focus on problematic formulations of the modern versus the traditional the Western and foreign versus the indigenous and notions of the modern bourgeois subject versus the precapitalist or precolonial subject Layoun textually situates and analyzes these formulations in the early twentieth century novels of Alexandros Papadiamandis Greece Yahya Haqqi Egypt and Natsume Soseki Japan and in the contemporary novels of Dimitris Hatzis Greece Ghassan Kanafani Palestine and Oe Kenzaburo Japan Originally published in 1990 The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print on demand technology to again make available previously out of print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905
