- W611778881 abstract "In this first book-length study of Les Miserables, Kathryn M. Grossman, with an authoritative command of Hugo s work Hugo criticism, situates the novelist s masterpiece in relation both to his earlier novelsup to including Notre-Dame de Paris and to the poetry published during his exile under the Second Empire. Drawing on Paul Ricoeur s theory of metaphor on Thomas Weiskel s analysis of the romantic sublime, Grossman illustrates how the novel s motifs structures correspond to a closely connected set of ethical, spiritual, political, aesthetic concerns.The religious motifs in Les Miserables identify the sublime not just with utopian ideals (and the overthrow of Napoleon III s grotesque Second Empire) but with artistic death resurrection. Examining the ways the novel is largely concerned with the monstrous brutalities of progress called revolutions that must precede the advent of heaven on earth, Grossman traces that link to a mythos of sin redemption shows how the moral concerns of the plot also illuminate Hugo s aesthetics.Les Miserables explores the tensions between heroes scoundrels, chaos order, law lawlessness. Grossman painstakingly follows the novel s ethical hierarchy from the grotesque (criminality) to the conventional (bourgeois complacency) the sublime (sainthood), demonstrating how that hierarchy corresponds to two other hierarchies: the literary the political." @default.
