Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âThe bourgeois ... Not so long ago, this notion seemed indispensable to social analysis; these days, one might go years without hearing it mentioned. Capitalism is more powerful than ever, but its human embodiment seems to have vanished. âI am a member of the bourgeois class, feel myself to be such, and have been brought up on its opinions and ideals,â wrote Max Weber, in 1895. Who could repeat these words today? Bourgeois âopinions and idealsââwhat are they?â
Thus begins Franco Morettiâs study of the bourgeois in modern European literatureâa major new analysis of the once-dominant culture and its literary decline and fall. Morettiâs gallery of individual portraits is entwined with the analysis of specific keywordsââusefulâ and âearnest,â âefficiency,â âinfluence,â âcomfort,â ârobaââand of the formal mutations of the medium of prose. From the âworking masterâ of the opening chapter, through the seriousness of nineteenth-century novels, the conservative hegemony of Victorian Britain, the ânational malformationsâ of the Southern and Eastern periphery, and the radical self-critique of Ibsenâs twelve-play cycle, the book charts the vicissitudes of bourgeois culture, exploring the causes for its historical weakness, and for its current irrelevance.
