Description

This scholarly volume from Routledge examines how fiction shaped European intellectual life across three centuries, from the Italian Renaissance through the French Revolution. The contributors challenge the assumption that fiction is merely synonymous with the novel, instead demonstrating fiction's vital role across literary genres, philosophy, political theory, and law. Through interconnected case studies featuring thinkers such as Montaigne and Corneille, the book reveals how early modern Europeans used fictional narratives to explore ideas and construct knowledge systems. The collection bridges literary history and intellectual history, showing how fiction functioned as a tool for both cultural expression and theoretical development during a transformative period in European thought.
