The historical novel
György Lukács (Author)
Georg Lukacs (1885-1971) is now recognised as one of the most innovative and best-informed literary critics of the twentieth century. Trained in the German philosophic tradition of Kant, Hegel, and Marx, he escaped Nazi persecution by fleeing to the Soviet Union in 1933. He wrote and published his longest work of literary criticism, The Historical Novel, in 1937.
