Representing the Mind in the French Catholic Novel

Abstract:
The apogee of the French Catholic Novel in the first half of the twentieth century coincides with a period of unprecedented cultural interest in the workings of the mind, with a variety of artistic, scientific and philosophical ideas on consciousness prominently employed by major French writers of the period. This article explores how the Catholic Novel participates in this debate, presenting its own detailed conception of consciousness derived from theological principles, finding echoes with certain contemporary theories of the mind and contrast with others, and, in particular, coming into sharp conflict with both the existentialist and psychoanalytic models.
