Klappentext Fifty years after its publication in English, René Girard's Deceit, Desire, and the Novel (1965) has become one of the great classics of literary criticism, and the notion of triangular desire is now part of theoretical parlance among critics and students. It also represents the genetic starting point for mimetic theory. This book provides a forum for new generations of scholars and critics to reassess, challenge, and expand the theoretical and hermeneutical reach of key issues brought forward by Girard's book and a more extensive and detailed historical understanding. Zusammenfassung Fifty years after its publication in English, René Girard’s Deceit, Desire, and the Novel (1965) has never ceased to fascinate, challenge, inspire, and sometimes irritate, literary scholars.
