抄録

This paper aims to evaluate Jacques Leenhardt's work, Political reading of the novel (1973), as an attempt to inherit the literary theory maintained by Lucien Goldmann. By introducing seciological analyses into the sociological reading of literary text, Leenhardt succeeds in revealing the ideological meanings that lie behind the text of a novel. The Leenhardt's modifications of Goldmann's methodology, however, make it clear that there is a theoretical limitation in Goldmann's conception. The paper concludes that sociology of literary text should change its point of view to comprehend the relation between the text and the context that conditions the production of text.
