It shows that Hegel looked to three literary genres--tragedy, comedy, and the romantic novel--as offering privileged access to three moments of human agency: retrospectivity, theatricality, and forgiveness. Taking full account of the authors that Hegel himself refers to (Sophocles, Diderot, Schlegel, Jacobi), Allen Speight has written a book with a broad appeal to both philosophers and literary theorists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591038714007,"sku":"9780521796347","price":4331.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521796347.webp?v=1774971381","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hegel-literature-and-the-problem-of-agency-9780521796347","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
