Jean Bonamour, Birth of a novel. Comments on the case of A hero of our time.
There is a great and justifiable terminological uncertainty about the inclusion of A hero of our time in the history of the Russian novel. Does this "almost-novel" constitute a stage in the history of novelistic genre in Russia ? Such an interpretation might be rather belittling. The autonomy of each short story, already noted by Belinskii, is an essential aspect of the structure of the work which is significant at all the levels. The interpretation of the character of Pechorin must conform to the poetic rule of the fragment opposed to the global purpose of the title in a creative tension. An existential vision of life underlies the work split in fragments. The fragmentary form was the only adequate one for this conception, very different from what later on the Russian realistic novel will be. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
