Conference proceedings: Collection "What is the Political Novel? Defining the Genre"

The collection What is the Political Novel? Defining the Genre brings together selected contributions to the first annual CAPONEU conference, which took place in Berlin from 27 to 29 September 2023. The participants discussed a variety of understandings of the political novel as a (tentative) genre. They combined approaches to defining the political novel that are characterised by genre theory with those that are shaped by the history of the genre, thus also paradigmatically illustrating this changeable category in relation to specific novels that have emerged in heterogeneous contexts.

The collection is an open-access publication published on the Open Research Europe platform.
