Introduction: The novel's price tag -- The exceptional Madame de Stael -- Hugo's literary sublime, or the theoretical Peuple -- Balzac and the chagrin of theory -- Flaubert's novel utopia, or the literary method -- Having your cake and eating it too: Proust's aestheticized thought -- Conclusion: Distributions of literature.
Patrick M. Bray's The Price of Literature demonstrates that literature's freedom to represent anything has meant, paradoxically, that it cannot articulate a coherent theory of itself--unless this theory is a necessarily subversive literary representation.--Provided by publisher.
