To date, though, her work has not been theoretically explored with a particular focus on literary and cultural studies. This book fills this gap by examining the relevance of Arendt's writings for 21st-century literary studies. It asks questions like: What could an Arendtian approach to literature mean? Can we establish a dialogue between Arendt's engagements with literature and her political thought? Can a rereading of Arendt's writings and imagined conversations between Arendt and her 21st-century interpreters inspire new, Arendtian readings of literary texts?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRevisiting some of Arendt's own discussions of literature, this book explores her own engagements with the practice of storytelling to extend, complicate, and challenge some of the contemporary arguments on the significance of narratives. It also reads Arendt against Arendt, demonstrating her enduring relevance for 21st-century literary scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAndrea Timár\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of English Studies at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary.
