Read
the following passage carefully and answer questions 44 to 48:
The
literary distaste for politics, however, seems to be focused not so much on the
largely murky practice of politics in itself as a subject of literary
representation but rather more on how it is often depicted in literature, i.e.,
on the very politics of such representation. A political novel often turns out
to be not merely a novel about politics but a novel with a politics of its own,
for it seeks not merely to show us how things are but has fairly definite ideas
about how things should be, and precisely what one should think and do in order
to make things move in that desired direction. In short, it seeks to convert
and enlist the reader to a particular cause or ideology; it often is (in an
only too familiar phrase) not literature but propaganda. This is said to
violate the very spirit of literature which is to broaden our understanding of
the world and the range of our sympathies rather than to narrow them down
through partisan commitment. As John Keats said, ‘We hate poetry that has a
palpable design upon us’.
Another
reason why politics does not seem amenable to the highest kind of literary representation
seems to arise from the fact that politics by its very nature is constituted of
ideas and ideologies. If political situations do not lend themselves to happy
literary treatment, political ideas present perhaps an even greater problem in
this regard. Literature, it is argued, is about human experiences rather than
about intellectual abstractions; it deals in what is called the ‘felt reality’
of human flesh and blood, and in sap and savour. (rasa) rather than in and and lifeless
ideas. In an extensive discussion of the matter in her book Ideas and the
Novel, the American novelist Mary McCarthy observed that ‘ideas are still today
felt to be unsightly in the novel’ though that was not so in ‘former days’,
i.e., in the 18th and 19th centuries. Her formulation of the precise nature of
the incompatibility between ideas on the one hand and the novel on the other
betrays perhaps a divided conscience in the matter and a sense of dilemma shared
by many writers and readers : ‘An idea cannot have loose ends, but a novel, I
almost think, needs them. Nevertheless, there is enough in common for the
novelists to feel… the attraction of ideas while taking up arms against them —
most often with weapons of mockery.’
