Abstract

The aesthetics and literary theory of the Hungarian philosopher Gÿorgy Lukács are
inextricably linked to artistic realism, which is why his work is often seen as tied with this period. On
the other hand, the author's links to Marxism also help to maintain the reach of his criticism to the
limits of modern achievements, whose effectiveness occurs mainly within the scope of the historically
determined political prevalence of its principles. Given this, in addition to the previous considerations,
this article seeks to analyze the key relevance of the Lukascian literary categories for the study of the
novel, as well as to relate them to the distinctive features of contemporary prose.
