Moving Beyond Language in Coetzees Foe

Original language description

This contribution looks at the function of language and the writer, or poet, in J. M. Coetzee's novel Foe. The novel itself is viewed as an attempt, on the part of the writer, to return to a paradise before the Fall and the resulting corruption of humanity, a Fall which is perceived to be the result of the evolution of human consciousness and of the inherent dualisms seemingly brought about by the advancement of the human intellect and of language itself. This is a move that can be seen to have been especially valuable to the Romantic poets: an attempt to overcome humanity's fallen state through the work of the poetic imagination.
