Architecture and palimpsest gardens in the work of Jean-Paul Goux The novels of Jean-Paul Goux focus one after another on the different implications of the act of inhabiting – philosophical, existential, political and artistic implications. The subject arises for him in the eighties, which are the main turning point in his reflection and work. With his novel The Gardens of Morgante, published in 1989, he invents a new kind of storytelling, in which voices do not only answer one another, but also interact and quote one another. At first the reader feels lost in a text built on the principle of anamorphosis, using a distended syntax. He nevertheless reaches, now and again, a kind of bliss, as he realises that he is himself inhabiting a prose and an enclosed space in which Time has laid itself down.
The article’s aim is to analyze some of the nineteenth-century transitions within the poetics of the novel as influenced by the development of psychology and other social studies. The case of an intellectual interaction between George Eliot and George Henry Lewes, partners both in life and in literary interests, permits observation of how closely the aims of realistic writers were able to be aligned with social studies scholars’ ambitions to discover the mechanism of human psyche. Observed from Virginia Woolf’s perspective, Eliot’s Scenes from Clerical Life and Middlemarch offer examples of how Lewes’s studies influenced to some extent the shape of Eliot’s literary projects.
