    Marxist literary sociology has the potential to offer a few ideas, summaraized here: (p. 9) The literary work is not merely the reflection of collective consciousness, but a constructed or possible consciousness. The relationship between collective ideology and creations is not in identity of content, but in a homology of structures. A world view cannot be created by a single individual, but must be created by a group. The individual can only transpose this view on the realm of the imaginary. Collective consciousness is not a reality, but is expressed implicitly in the behavior of individuals.

    Goldmann’s work derives directly from Lukacs and Girard. The main contents and work of the book is in connecting Marxist cultural economics to the forms and values of the novel. The novel is a social product, and is thus shaped by social and cultural forces. Because the modern period is heavily influenced by capitalism, the values of capitalism are ingrained in modern works. Goldmann is specifically interested in how these values appear and are expressed within the novel, and this is done through analysis of character, individual values, morality, and other such concepts that appear in fiction.
