LITCOMIX LITERARY THEORY & GRAPHIC NOVEL (C: 0-1-1)(W) GECZY, ADAM (A) GECZY, ADAMRUTGERS UNIVERSITY PRESSStockID: 71904 SKU: JAN231790Critical studies of the graphic novel have often employed methodologies taken from film theory and art criticism. Yet- as graphic novels from Maus to Watchmen entered the literary canon- perhaps the time has come to develop theories for interpreting and evaluating graphic novels that are drawn from classic models of literary theory and criticism. Using the methodology of Georg Lukács and his detailed defense of literary realism as a socially embedded practice- Litcomix tackles difficult questions about reading graphic novels as literature. Whether looking at graphic novel adaptations of Proust or considering how Jack Kirby's use of intertextuality makes him the Balzac of comics- this study offers fresh perspectives on how we might appreciate graphic novels as literature.
