The philosophical thought of the young Lukács—Jewish messianism, Kantianism, Hegelianism—help to make The Theory of the Novel, written during the First World War, an eschatological key to understanding the novel and the genre destined, according to Lukács, to “depose” it by making a strong resurgence: epos in its renewed form. The interest of highlighting this philosophical and aesthetic background, particularly with regard to the theory of literary genres, justifies a new translation of this work.
