The Power of the Story PDF
By:Michael Hanne
Published on 1996 by Berghahn Books
Can a novel caus riots, start a war, free serfs or slaves, break up marriages, drive readers to suicide, close factories, bring about legal change, swing an election, or serve as a weapon in a national or international struggle? These are some of the larger, direct, social and political effects which have been ascribed to certain exceptional novels and other works of narrative fiction over the last two hundred years or so. In their crudest form, claims of this kind are obviously naive, oversimplifying the complex ways in which literary tests |work in the world| and oversimplifying. Too, the casual processes required to account for a major social or political change. But is it possible to modify or refine such claims in the light of contemporary theory and historical research so that the mechanisms by which each text has engaged with the political forces of the time are adequately described? The author explores this question in the form of a theoretical essay on narrative and power, followed by five detailed case studies of works by Turgenev, Harriet Beecher Stoew, Ignazio Silone, Solzhenitsyn and Salman Rushdie each of which had or were said to have had a major impact on the political events in their time.
