Literature and Revolution:

Abstract

What is the relationship between literature and revolution?Should literature assist revolution and, if so, to what degree?Before deliberating on these questions we should first determine the precise meaning of the term ìrevolution,î because many champions of revolution are found to be generally unaware of what the term implies and what we ourselves understand it to mean.A host of problems arise from the lack of a proper understanding of the word, whether in literature or in politics.A further difficulty is that, like all other terms, the meaning is not determined so much by an individualís sense-experiences as by the requirements, and sometimes even the convenience, of parties founded on political and sociological beliefs.In any case, an exploration of the word ìrevolutionî reveals several meanings.
